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.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
