Most worried about ...

[mbnurse 28]

At 3 weeks I might try to opt out. Eating out is hard for me at 3 & 1/2 months out. I only go with people who know that I've had surgery and still I feel a weird pressure to look normal while consuming my tiny portions. Prefer restaurants with small plates (though even then, I only eat a small amount of the small plate) - like 1 coconut shrimp from a small plate of 4, 1/2 of the salmon off of a small plate of 3 salmon mini sliders, picked just the ahi tuna out of an ahi ceviche. Waiters and waitresses ask a lot of "is everything ok" type of questions. chicken wings are also good - easy to just eat a bit off them and look "normal". Hope I'll get over this one day, but I had a lap band before and felt the same way.

Good luck!
