First meal at a restaurant

Went to Bonefish with my wife for lunch today. Watching her eat the bread was tough. I got a small grilled salmon. Ate 1-2 small pieces of broccoli and most of my salmon and that was it. Waitress thought there was something wrong with my food because I ate so little!!

    I just got back from Friendlys with my husband and it was my first meal out. I had the tuna from half my sandwich and 2 fries. I had no desire to eat more fries.

    Thankfully, I have a fit, but hungry man with a huge appetite. I highly doubt he'd allow my plate to sit there with tons of un-eaten food lol But I'm only a week out. No experience with it yet.

  • I received a card too, mine also suggests senior meals in addition to the kids menu. They are usually real food scaled back a little.

A week out.. How are you feeling?

Thank you!!!

I'm doing good! My biggest complaint is some nausea because its difficult for me to get in my liquids all the time. And some head hunger!!! Can't wait to get a Protein shake in me.

I am 6 weeks out and my husband and I always decide what to share and then we order one dinner. It is saving crazy amounts of money. He has an Adonis body, so he can eat whatever he wants. Through this surgery, I love him even more than I did before. I eat so little of whatever order, but he still insists on my input on what we eat. :)

That is so cute. My mother in law had bypass 5 years ago and she and her husband always split a meal, too. He doesn't have a huge appetite either. However, I worried about doing this with my fiance because he DOES have an appetite. Or maybe I'm just underestimating just how little I'll be able to eat! Lol. Oh and you're 6 weeks out and can go to restaurants? What kind of things and how much of it CAN you eat when you go out?

You may be underestimating. :) We have a favorite Mexican restaurant here locally. We usually order the fajitas. The ones we like have steak, chicken and shrimp. I can eat 5 or 6 pieces of meat and a couple tablespoons of refried Beans. The fajita servings are so large at this restaurant that we order the single order and always have some to take home. If we go to a steakhouse, he cuts me a corner of his steak off and I eat some if the veggies. We have eaten BBQ, too. That night my husband and my son got a platter for two, and I just picked off of that.

I haven't had any issues eating anything since my 6 weeks were up. I am now almost 8 out. As long as I chew really well, I have been able to eat anything so far. I haven't eaten bread, rice, Pasta...or really anything high in carbs, though. I have heard that rice is really tough for sleepers to eat. Everything else I just avoid because of the carbiness! ;)
