I'm 6 weeks out and tolerating most solids pretty well. (Haven't tried any salads.). But I can only eat a tiny amount! I actually haven't eaten "out" since surgery and DH wants Applebees takeout tonight.

Any suggestions on what to order?

do not do not I repeat do not get the quesadilla burger.

it is absolutely delish but it has 1500 calories.

I ordered one a month ago before checking it on MFP. I ate half and took the rest home. then I checked in MFP. um well I did eat the other half the next day though!

a rare treat is what I call it. a once a year treat!

I recommend you check out the calories, sugar, etc before going and have a plan and stick to it.

I either get the kids steak or chicken grillers. Or I'll do the grilled shrimp add ons.

They have 550 calories and under choices. Eat what you can and take the rest home.

I was also wondering these things too. How long did everyone wait to start eating out and my most important question.... pizza. I cannot wait to eat pizza. I know it will be thin crust but how long did y'all wait to eat or try pizza?

I'm not sure what stage you are but I found a pretty tasty way to enjoy 'pizza' on my low carb pre-op diet. I fixed them for my kids tonight and even my seven year old loved it. I just watched while I ate my creamy chicken Soup. :-(

*Low carb tortilla such as 'flat out light wrap'

Put it in the oven on 400 for 5-7 min each side to get it crispy. Trust me, it is MUCH better crispy!

*spaghetti sauce of choice, but go light. Maybe even mix with unflavored Protein powder.

*topping of choice (I have used pepperoni, bacon, jalapeños, and grilled chicken is fabulous on it to get your protein)

*top it all with shredded cheese of choice

*broil on low until cheese is melted

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
