Eating out card ?

Saw that some people on here have a card when they go out to eat it states they have weight loss surgery so the restaurant can acknowledge and give u small portions cheaper priced.

Just wondering if anyone knows any info on this. Thanks a lot.

    I tossed my card away. The price of a kid's meal is just a few dollars less than an adult plate. I'd rather take home the leftovers than have to go through explaining my surgery to a waiter or the man

  • I do not have a card concerning my bariatric sleeve procedure. I just simply tell the wait staff that I have had this surgery & may I select food from the kids menu. I have never had anyone say no

    I eat off the starter menu. If not, I order from the 'big grown up girls' menu and ask them to 'hold the carbs'. If you notice, most 'plates' are made up of a little Protein and a lot of fluffy carb

I received a card from my surgeons office but chucked it right away. I didn't want to deal with the reactions from restaurant workers and am fine with ordering appetizers or bringing home lots of leftovers.

I've been eating out from the beginning and it's not been a problem.

I received a card but have never used it. I usually share with my hubby or my son. Heck, the other day we all 3 shared one meal. It's helped my hubby lose some weight (about 35 lbs since my surgery. ).

I usually share with my husband, but used the card once for a buffet breakfast (when I only wanted one egg). It saved me about $7.
