I'm 2wks post op and my dad birthday was October 16th, we went out to Ruby Tuesday and when the waiter came they took drink orders and when they got to me I was like no thanks and yes they stood there like okay not even water lol and I was like no thanks lol ... ( I learned that from you all) so then moving on to ordering food the women collected all the orders and just skipped me lol I said well I guess she say if she ain't drinking she ain't eating so my dad had to call her back and I order the chicken tortilla soup... It was a bit thick so we got another bowl and hot water and mixed it ... Long story short when she came back it was still a lot left so she goes you didn't like it I seen you was picking in it I will just remove it from the ticket lol ...... Oh really THANK YOU for assuming lol just my first post op restaurant experience

Way to go and thanks for sharing your story. I'm still awaiting my approval but things like this do worry me. I have never realized how much I base everything I do around eating. Now I have to retrain 40 years worth of damage. Keep on being strong!

yep me to just eating cause others are eating or just out of boredom....

I try to get a drink as soon as I sit down and by the time everyone orders and the food comes 15-20 minutes later, I can eat.

My birthday was oct 16th as well!
