Does anyone have a card they use for eating out at Buffets to pay less? I have not asked my doc will next week when I go for my 3 month checkup- but I hear some people use them??

What does the card looks like & what is stayed on it? Thx

Mine is my surgeon's business card on the front. On the back it says that the bearer has had gastric surgery, and is unable to eat large portions, so please allow them to order from the child's menu, etc. It doesn't say anything about weight loss surgery.

Ok thx...my doc didn't give me 1...I guess I'll ask about it @ my 3 month post-op visit

Phew!!!!! I thought this was another of "those" threads.

I have found that most places let me order off the kid's menu. I generally know where we are going ahead of time and look at the menu online. I have not been to a buffet.

My favorites:

• Red Lobster has broiled fish, garlic-grilled shrimp and grilled chicken on their kid's menu.
  
• Chili's has grilled chicken on their kid's menu
  
• Chipotle is great (they will let you do super small portions)
  
• Pei Wei (have your spouse order a 3 item plate and you choose one- I like the String Bean Chicken)
  
• Applebee's has a 4 oz sirloin on their kid's menu.
  

Yes, we eat out too often!

Thanks for the heads up

i LOVE eating out... i usually order an app or soup, or i just share.... or a small side salad with chicken. (eat chicken first)

Glad to know that eating out is still possible! I too love just getting dressed to go to a nice restaurant for the ambience! Do you have a taste of wine yet?

Yes I hv a card and I use it and love it!

i have a sip or two of my husbands usually.. but dont order a glass.... i may at a fancy place but im not sure i'd finish it. otherwise i'd not have enough room for food
