I am almost 5 weeks post op and have ventured out to a few restaurants. Can anybody give me ideals of healthy items that you order in restaurants?? Im having a hard time with this.

Well i didn't have any classes only one therapy session and that's it' date='I really wish I'd taken my time to learn more about afterwards and to find a surgeon who really cares,my first consultation was on 1/27/13, and my surgery was 2/26/13.now im on my own when i call his office his nurse that deals with Gastric bypass patients has a attitude the rest don't even know what to say and his bedside manner is terrible.i had my one week follow up then once a month follow ups. I've gotten more info here than i have from my surgeon and if I'd known before what I know now I would've acted on a impulse thought to have this surgery mentally i wasn't ready im not eating right and more depressed than ever but i guess it's too late to turn around now.[/quote']

yes it's too late to move back cause we're all here for each other to move forward so you know you have us. my doctor and his crew is sometimes the same way but then sometimes they turn around have a change of attitude.

Thanks for all the advice I'm going to stick it out.

If they offer support groups...go. take advantage of them.

They don't offer anything really,but after reading all of the post here,I did make an appointment with a therapist and I also contacted a nutritionist to get help with my terrible eating habits.

Check out overeaters anonymous for food issues also.

I Stick to anything steamed or baked. Try to incorporate plenty of proteins, Seafood places offer a better variety for me
