There is a soul food place here that serves meat loaf, Mac and cheese, candy yams and bouquets. I forget the name but yum...

There is a Japanese restaurant called Narutos that has an excellent terriaki chicken meal that also comes with tempura vegetables and one skewer of tempura shrimp. With rice, salad and little sushi bites. Before surgery, it was all I could do to eat the entire meal. I haven't been back since the surgery.

There are no restaurants that I miss, because I can eat at any restaurant. And the only foods I'm eager to have more often are those I choose not to have right now because I'd rather maximize my weight loss. I'll enjoy them in moderation after I get to my goal weight.

I'd rather focus on things that ARE on my plan, and how good I feel being more healthy.

There isn't a dish that tastes as good or a restaurant I miss as much as the satisfaction of the before/after picture below feels.

Right now since I'm only 10 days post op and can't eat it, I'm missing my favorite Chinese restaurant. The place I go to is so authentic, there are more Chinese people eating in there than white. My husband and I used to get it every weekend.

When I get to the point to where I can eat what I want, I'll get my Chinese again but I'll just be eating smaller portions.

None. All of those "favorites" got me into this position in the first place. Eeeeeek!

Was gonna say the same as Lipsticklady. The hell with those places, I tried to kill myself at those places.

I can pretty much eat anywhere, just in smaller quantities. Mostly I don't miss anything, though, because NOTHING tastes as good as the feeling of the sales guy at Banana Republic yesterday telling me, "oh sweetie, that 6 looks a little loose, do you want a snugger fit?"

I don't miss anything. I can eat everything. While baned, however (sleeve revision 10 mths ago), I missed pancakes, pizza crust and pineapple chunks (my fav fruit). All 3 of those items led me to the bathroom.

Early on, I missed ice cream, cuz it would make me dump. But now, I can eat about 6 bites of it and I'm good.

Luv my sleeve...

Oh, I don't just like this, I loooove this!!

I don't really miss anything, my taste buds changed after I got sleeved and I tend to prefer grilled chicken salads all the time.

I really don't miss any of them because I still go to them but now I make much wiser choices and completely stay away from the carbs. I order veggies instead of the starch sides such as potatoes. I will say that some of the places that I used to love such as Cracker Barrel I frequent less because they really tempt the soul!

Honestly don't miss them. My attitude has done a 180 and even when I go out, I automatically scope out the menu for the healthy items and if the dish comes with starches, they go on my husband's plate

Besides, I am addicted to MFP and I want to make as accurate an entry as possible so I stick to what I know.
