Is everyone finding it a waste to go out to eat? Have you noticed a savings in your wallet since you can't go out?

We spent probably $300-400 monthly eating out and even though I've bought lots of protein powders (still experimenting) there is definitely a savings. Can't wait to start recalculating the household budget!!

I wish they had half servings at restaurants for people who had wls because there more of us out there than people know. I want to own my own speciality restaurant for us after i graduate next year.

That's a great idea! It would be nice to have guaranteed low carb small portioned options.

I wonder if restaurants give adults a hard time for ordering children's menu? I would assume most won't let you...

I've tried ordering on the kids menu and most places won't let you

How about appetizers? I'm still on liquids so haven't gone out yet. Have you had luck finding low carb ones? The only thing that comes to mind would be like stuffed mushrooms or shrimp cocktail.

We save A TON of money not eating out. We used to do it 2 or 3 times a week. Not to mention take out lunches on work days. I'm sure that has a lot to go do with how I got so fat also!

I got one of those cards from my surgeon that says this patron has a surgically reduced stomach, please honor their request to order from the senior or children's menu but have never tried.

You could make good $$ offering vegan and gluten free options as well!

I'll have to see if my surgeon has those. They never mentioned it. I'm looking forward to the savings just on work lunches. I used to go get takeout every day for lunch so I could smoke. Now not smoking or getting take out. And I lease so will save a ton of miles as well
