Liquid diet, company and dining out

We have company and are showing them around the state. 2 of the 4 have never been to Maine before. Today is day 8 of high protein liquids. This is day 3 of touring and being in restaurant situations. I have packed my lunch bag with protein shake powder, yogurt, unjury pumpkin pudding, powdered milk and have found that any of the restaurants we have gone to understand when I order water, and skim milk, or a small apple juice or cranberry juice and a large water. The rest of the table ordered their meals, I have mine and all is fine with the world.

A waiter or 2 has looked at me twice when I only want drinks and no entree. Either I or my company explains that I am preparing for surgery. Simple, to the point and not questioned.
I think I shocked the clerk at McDonalds (stopped there for a potty break) and ordered a milk, that's it, a milk!!

Planning and a restaurant strategy have really paid off!

Thank you. I spent a lot of time worrying about this visit. It's been fine.

Time, nerves and thought wasted on something that never happened. Everyone has been supportive when I've come out and told them about WLS. Someday I'll learn that worry is a waste.
