I am currently 10 days post op and my mother called tonight and informed me that they are having my grandmother a birthday "gathering" at Texas Roadhouse which at that time I will be 21 days post op! I thought maybe this was something I could sit out on but my grandmother is more like a mother to me and honestly I do NOT want to miss it so I'm curious as to what would be a good thing to order from there?

You could also order some soft fish like salmon. Mash it up really well with a fork. I would have mashed salmon on the pureed stage. Plus you get in your Protein that way, which is #1.

Are they aware of your surgery? If so I would recommend bringing a small bowl that you can measure your food into. Make sure you stay with the portion size you're supposed to be eating, and immediately request a to go box for the rest. If they don't know about the surgery it gets a little more difficult.

Go online and see if you can get a menu and pre-plan. I ate out this week for the first time at three weeks post op and I had a cup of Soup. Next week I go to a business conference with food provided during the day and client dinners every night (my boss, coworkers and clients do not know I had this surgery) so it will be a challenge. It is also a small town we are staying in so no chain restaurants, so I am going on yelp looking to find menus and restaurants I can suggest where I know what I can order, it will be interesting

I would stay with soft, meaning fish. Not fried. And remember, you'll still be able to only get very little in. Don't be tempted by any appetizers your family might order.

I went there a few weeks after my surgery and had the mashed potatoes with country gravy. It was delicious! Be careful though because they leave some skin in the potatoes and also a few small chunks. Just go around the skin with your fork and chew the potatoes really well! Good luck and have fun :)

      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!!
