I've never been there but most buffets do have a salad bar so stick with that and you should be fine.

*****ly Penis - my son will love that one - his friends drag him there all the time.... I swear I've never heard of the water loading, where have I been ? Anyway, buffets aren't too bad. My standard is the green salad and I have them slice grilled chicken or steak on top, then drizzle some sort of fat free vinegrette on top. Two bites of that brownie I'm not supposed to have... then bet the hell out of there...

lmao at *****ly penis! i have a very good friend that spent six weeks at an expensive "fat farm" in utah earlier this year. once a week, they would bus them to a buffet in town, but they had to journal whatever they ate. i never asked him, but it seemed as though they felt like teaching them how to handle buffets was part of the program.

how about grilled fish? don't they always have some sort of grilled fish?

Perfect place to follow the rules: protein first.... some grilled chicken or beef..... then a few bites of salad... and then, maybeeeeeeeee..... a bite of dessert. You'll do great.

I hated the food at Cactus Willies pre-op, so I wouldn't really even want to go in now. BUT... buffets are tough. You get full fast, and then have to watch everyone else parade by with plates of food. Never mind that the food on their plates doesn't taste very good, your eyes don't know that.

You're a strong woman! You make good choices! You will find a few things to eat slowly, and being water loaded will help a lot. The one on this side of town has a few sugar free deserts on their menu, so reward yourself with a few bites.

Know you won't have to do this again for A LONG time!

Hey-- we need to talk about Nursing school. I WANNA GO!

Hugs!
