Eating out Card
My physician said that on this website somewhere was a card we could get so that when we go out to eat it will allow us to order off of the kid menu but I cant locate it but can anyone help me find it?
My doc gave me one in my discharge packet, but I never used it. Most restaurants are pretty good about adjusting your order. And you have leftovers...

Ask nicely, and you'll never need a card. Say please, don't make a fuss, be grateful and kind to your server.
"Is there a chance I could have broccoli instead of potatoes? I'll pay the difference if I need to, I'm staying away from carbs. Thanks!"
"Would it be possible to get a lunch portion? I don't think I could eat a full plate and I'd rather not waste food."

I do this all the time, Julie, and have never had a waiter say no. I always tip extra too, for their trouble. Never a complaint either!
I follow a ketogenic diet post-op. I also have a diagnosis of binge eating disorder. Feel free to ask me about either!

I eat out all of the time and just ask the server for what I want. I have never had a problem. I ordered a kids meal of a chicken breast very early on and a steak kabob one other time. I typically just ask the server for a suggestion as to how I can get what I want (without looking at the menu and being tempted). I ask if they can just grill shrimp or scallops with no sides. I have had great success and they have been very good about it. Don't be afraid to ask for what you need. Good luck.

I agree with the other posters. Kids menus are generally carb-loaded crap food. Usually when I go out I end up just asking the server if I can get a side if chicken breasts or a sandwich with no bread, etc. I also ask for a to-go box right away so I can portion my food out and put the rest away so I don't overeat. Personally I love that I always have leftovers! It's like getting 2-3 meals in one!
