Weight loss card for restaurants?

 Does anyone have or remember a card
on this site that you show restaurants that we
had WLS and can have "smaller" meals?
Thanks

My doctor gave me one of those cards and I have NEVER used it.

I just order what I want and ask them to bring a box when they bring the food and put 1/2 to 2/3 of the food in the box for the next day.

It isn't worth the grief you  get and you still end up paying full price for the meal.

You---or anyone, for that matter---can print one out on your home computer. They're meaningless, because---anyone can print one out. No restaurants are obliged to honor them, and the restaurants that do honor them will also honor if you just ask.

There are other threads about this. I just wanted to weigh in, so to speak.

I have never and would never use one of those cards. We have plenty of options: sharing an entree, ordering an appetizer, soup, etc. If I want to tell a server about my WLS, I will, but not to get a discount.

 Seriously...you don't have to tell them your personal business.  Just say that you don't have a large appetite but love a good meal, and ask for a half portion.  They have just as much power to do that without a card as they do with one, and you don't have to divulge any secrets to the world.

Plus - the kids menu is full of fried crap.

I don't have one, either, and don't think I have ever thought I would use it.

One tip for me that has worked well if I want grilled fish is to order the grilled fish sandwich.   Each time I have done this, it is substantially less expensive than the same grilled fish entree, and a nice small portion.   I have asked them to hold the bread, but that seems to confuse them, so I just normally ask the sandwich to be "dry", i.e. no mayo or butter. 

Appetizer are a good thing, often, too.   

I have yet to see anything on the childs menu that I want - like someone else said, all fried!

At a buffet I once told the server I had a very small appetite and asked if I could have a childs buffet and they were more than happy to do that - brought me a small salad plate.   This was at an Amish buffet in eastern PA.  

Oh, you can find them onilne.  Try here www.obesityhelp.com/magazine/RestaurantCard.html
Or you can just make up your own.  It's not anything "official."  It's just you asking for a discount, but asking in writing instead of verbally, really.

Some restaurants will honor it but many won't.  Although, some restaurants offer half portions of things.  I ate at Applebees for dinner and had a salad and could choose a full portion or a half portion.  I did not have to show any special card to get the half portion.  

 Thank you all for your feedback. I do have a cpl
of restaurants that let us share or give smaller
portions. 

OH!!!!   Another trick at buffets is to ask if you can pay by the pound.  I used to do that at a buffet that my colleagues loved to go to.  My lunch would be something like $2.78.

There is a resturant here in Kansas City that actually has a sign posted right next to the order window that says " Management does not care if you had a lapband, you can not order a kids meal, or small size meal and no discounts are avaliable or given because you had a lap band." If I'm lying I'm dying! When I read that I almost started crying because I was laughing so hard! But honestly there is no point in a special card because the resturants don't care.

But one tip I have is to order what ever you want even if it not on the menu and tell them exactly how you want it cooked. I do this every time I go anywhere even McDonald's and I have never once had anyone give me grief about it...(Well except for my husband who says my crazy orders "embarass" him) ~
