So, I was watching Dr. Oz yesterday and saw a preview for the local news. They were featuring a young chef, David Ralic, who has added a wls section to his menu.

Apparently, this young man (26) had the sleeve done a month ago...yay sleeve! Anyway, the new menu was available starting yesterday. I plan to check him out as soon as I am able to eat regular meals. Kudos to him!!!

For anyone who is interested, I have included a link to an article that featured him and his website.

Enjoy...

thanx so much for sharing this.

restaurants and others are taking notice that WLS have so many people now (kindof sad though) - we need to be noticed. Menus are a great place to start.

April 26, 2012 i had a knee replacement - in the hospital & then the rehab area they both had a separate dietary group/menu for WLS patients.

I'll drink to that - of course sugar free iced tea

What a great idea - it would be great if more places offered WLS friendly meals - I love it "nutitrient dense, sugar free, protein-infused."

I wish I lived near! I hope this catches on! The dishes looked so good and just perfect for us! Maybe other good restaurants will jump on the bandwagon!

This is really cool. I just hope other restaurateurs follow his lead.

That's what I was thinking...fabulous idea!!! :wub:

What a great idea...wish I lived closer! Let us know how it is.

I certainly will. I have my surgery on the 19th, so it will be awhile but I plan to update.

What a great idea!! Smart man!! I did have to chuckle though...complimentary tea? He knows we cant drink with our meals! lol

I used to live fairly close to there (an hour away I'd guess?) and might have visited if they had it when I did. I always hate ordering off of the regular menu, because I eat a small amount and invariably the waiter or waitress will ask if the meal is ok/something's wrong. Drives me up a wall.

Great idea! How nice!!

I appreciate this thank you for posting. I do well with medium filet with a steak sauce and the portion he has listed is perfect. Lots of times I tell the waiter to hold the sides since I usually don't eat them and I hate the idea of wasting the food.

I'll never get to NJ. I wish every restaurant had a menu like that!

He did give me the idea to put cranberries and maybe feta in the quinoa (I don't like goat cheese). YUM!!!!

This is exciting - and I'm only an hour away! I can't wait to go! Thank you!!
