Hey all so my husband wants red lobster. Have you eaten there? What do you order? I'm a little over two months out. I still can't eat a lot but I sure want to :)

Red Lobster is one of a few restaurants that have special meals for WLS people. My daughter worked there and told me. I am happy :)

Plenty of options there! I'd do salmon, crab legs, or grilled shrimp - hold the butter.

Hey shrinkinmama, I actually went there last friday and my husband ordered a steak that came with mashed potatoes and it also came with a grilled skewer of shrimp, so I just had a couple of the shrimp from his meal. But my original plan was to order shrimp scampi. I had a TINY bite of one of the biscuits because who can resist them?? lol Hope that helps! :)

I actually went a few days ago. Now I will say Im not a seafood person, the only thing close to seafood I eat is canned tuna with mayo and relish lol.

I got a chicken ceasar salad which was soooo good. They do have alot of healthy options on their menu (Lighthouse), my friend got the Sailors Platter (not so healthy since it came with breaded shrimp) but the broiled fish that was used I actually really liked it, it was very mild, not much of a fish taste. Next time I go Im going to ask what kind that was used, I would eat that again.

I found this on their site: http://www.redlobster.com/health/

Check out the Lighthouse Calculator in the lower right hand corner of that page.

You could also just order off the kid's menu.

red lobster. Have you eaten there? What do you order?

I love Red Lobster, they have great steaks - and of course fried clams, shrimp - all that great stuff.. Then they make these super special rolls, not to mention great salads and desert. :( (my mouth is watering)

Won't eat that anymore. :angry: but they have great other stuff too

I love their salmon - they give a big piece, now i will take more than 1/2 home.

Their food is great, so next week-end DH and i have an over due "date"

Krysty - thanx for the great web site for Red Loster showing menu

How about all of us sleevers go to Red Lobster one night, whose buying :lol:

Red Lobster is my and my daughter's favorite place to eat out for self-treating. We share the build-your-own meal and choose three. We get stuffed flounder, shrimp scampi and either Walt's shrimp or baked salmon. We can both eat our fill there and each take enough home for another meal. So...basically for price of one meal, we get four out of it. We share Soup or salad and have a few bites of biscuit and we are totally satisfied. Good for us and good for our budgets. Can't beat that with a stick!!

At two months out, you should be able add in the soft fish and shrimp, salmon too if you take small bites and chew it well.

Red Lobster, here you come!!!

Fish cooked properly really shouldn't taste fishy. As a matter of fact, tuna is more "fishy" than properly prepared fish should ever be. I'm always sad when people get turned off to seafood because their first exposure was poorly prepared. Kept me from eating fish for YEARS. So glad I learned differently. It is a great lean Protein that can easily take on the flavor of whatever you prepare it with.

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
