I am going to Barcelona 4 months aflter surgery and am wondering what kind of support I will have in restaurants etc. anyone with experience or ideas on how to handle this situation. I don't speak the language, so I know it will be even more difficult.

If you can go with someone and order 1 meal and share would be great since you still won't be eating very much. If you feel uncomfortable doing that, most times you can order ala carte or order an appetizer. Grilled shrimp and shrimp scampi was fairly easy for me to eat as long as I nibbled and chewed well. One thing I did whenever I traveled during that first 9 months, was take the individual packages of protein mix, weight control oatmeal, and protein bars to make sure that I got my protein in for the day. It's best if you can take the protein mix that you can just mix with water. In most cases you can easily find hot or cold water for mixing. HTH Linda
