5 more days til surgery and im worried my lifestyle wont permit all of the prepackaged meals.

Won't at first. Are you talking about frozen meals? I have had a few at work but there is a lot I cannot eat so I eat the meat and throw what I cannot eat. Still works okay.

can I still eat out? :X

Yes you can still eat out I'm at month 9 and I can eat whatever I want to. I can't eat near as much as I used to but I can still eat unhealthy. You are going to have to make sure you forget some old bad habits or your weight could creep back up.

Thanks. ..a lot of friends say they have to eat at home or pack a lunch. ..But they have bypass. I'm not home much and eat out at least 5x a week :x I know

As long as you make good choices, you can successfully eat out all you want. You simply can't eat a terrific amount and will want to choose your food wisely.

Yes... you will just be eating less. I usually order mostly side dishes and still need a container to go.
