I went to the waffle house with my fiance, his 11 year old daughter, and my 14 year old son. I had a piece of sausage and 1 scrambled egg. I looked around on our table and said man, y'all eat a lot!!! Then I remembered I used to eat like that! Thank you, thank you to my band buddy!

@@NolansNana you go girl! I know how you feel when I see my boys eat a meal I can't even look!! I have to tell you though they are all three fit and thin but oh BOY can they eat when they are hungry! Takes my appetite away I'm lucky I finish one crepe and some fruit.

Amazing when I think about how I used to eat! Lol

so agree with yall...I eat wayyyyyyyyyyyy less than anyone in my family and friends...so neat though...love it...even though I'm not green yet I try hard to stay as small as possible without being hungry all the time. so YOU GO GIRL NolansNana!!!

yes on the discovery at Waffle House.....I enjoyed a road trip thru the South about 4 years postOp and Bandster eating in restaurants was still a new experiment for me.....

I do recall though, even though the food was tasty and way more plentiful that ~I~ wanted, the small orders I did get shared with others in my party.....

I've never seen "pork chops" cut so thin....and if the bacon was any thinner sliced there would have been only one side to it!!!

Even now traveling, mostly I order either just appetizers or Soup, or take a box along if it will keep.

I have managed how to communicate during ordering to show the size of whatever it is I want to order.

When I was just coming into the REAL food phase postOp, I attended a banquet with a friend. My own tiny meal was plenty. I was almost nauseated by seeing the 3rd & 4th heaping plates going to some folks, and huge gooey Desserts.

It was an important part of my given up my old eating pattern, just to watch the carnage around me. My friend ate a very sensible portion, which helped center me on what MY meal really was about.
