Restrauant list?



Recommended Posts

HI. Is there a list of what you can have when eating out? On Mushies and solid stages?

Restrauants such as Cracker Barrel, Applebee's, chinese, etc.

Thanks in advance! :thumbup: :D

I dont know a list but maybe you should stick to eating at home? Might make it easier to know what ur putting in ur body. But im sure someone has a list on where you can go and enjoy some food.< /p>

I am far past the pre-op stage, but I eat wherever I want. Just less. I do enjoy the weight watchers menu at Applebee's. I always have leftovers when I eat out, so I really look forward to those later!

Almost everywhere, I order a side dish or Soup. You cant go wrong with soups! The only time im sad is at resturants, because I use to LOVE to eat so much!

If im out, I check the Soups, and get a cup, or eat the chips and salsa, which is always good. Sometimes they will have a side of fresh veggies, which is great, or a potato, baked or mashed.

When I was on mushies (late mushies/soft) I would order a baked potato. Soup is also a good choice. If I went Mexican, I'd have the refried Beans. I don't think you are limited on restaurants - it may take a little longer to find what you want, but most restaurants have something you can have.

Now that I'm on solids, I don't limit myself. I usually ask if I can order from the kids menu. If I get grilled chicken I'll ask for a side of dressing (that way I can dip it in there and it goes down easier). Same for steak. I still have my leftovers and don't eat the bread that usually comes first.

We went to On the Border today for my last 'pre-band' restaurant meal. While I was there I checked out both the adult menu & the kids menu. I was thinking more solid stage but I saw the following I could have (from my understanding of what is OK)

-fajita salad (warm fajita meat, peppers & onions on a green salad)

-chicken tortilla Soup

-grilled chicken with 2 sides (kids meal)

-kids mexican dinner (soft or hard taco or cheese enchilada with 2 sides)

The sides include side salad, steamed or grilled veggies (can't remember which) fries & mexican rice.

FYI that I asked our waiter about ordering off the kids menu post-surgery & he said absolutely no problem. I hope that's true other places as well.

Be careful with the chips and salsa. I ate a couple too fast the other day and then I was stuck when my enchilada came to the table- it looked so good and I was frustrated! It was a corn tortilla enchilada and it wasn't very good when I reheated it. My husband chowed it down though when I didn't want it. He's starting to get mad because I keep giving him my extra food!:lol:

Soft tortillas can be a killer. I can eat chips and salsa just fine, but I wouldn't touch a soft tortilla.

Chile rellenos (which were never my favorite before) are now my Mexican meal of choice, or sometimes we just split an order of nachos.

Everybody has different foods they have difficulty with, so (after listing my own favorites) you will just have to figure out what works for you.

Snowbird: Im with you. Them Soft tortillas are killer on me to.. As much as I love them.... I usually stuck with chips or possible hard taco. But sometimes in the Mexican rest the shredder cheese gets me.

I don't know of any list but if you stick with American cuisine they usually have Soup, mashed potatoes (if you are allowed to have them). I went to a lot of deli/sandwich shops like Jason's deli, Potbelly, corner bakery, panera, etc. because they have a wide variety of Soups.< /p>

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
