I will let you know how I am doing....I am soooo scared because I have never had surgery...well, I had my wisdom teeth out and they knock me out but i woke up during it..did not feel pain, just woke up and they told me to go back to sleep and i did...but i remember clearly...hugs, Dama

Most of the kids menus are like that, but I-hop has a grilled talapia. I usually order it for my son, and then I eat it and order popcorn shrimp off the adult menu for him. Some restaurants do have healthy kids entrees, I usually order an appetizer, or I take stuff home from the entree menu and eat it over a few days. I just thought it would be nice to have the option if it was out there.

I've had a restaurant card since day one, and I have to say, I've never wanted to use it. I'd rather order from the appetizer menu, and look like an adult... but that's my baggage.... Aren't the kids menus more restrictive??  I always think of chicken nuggets (breaded and fried) or hot dogs (fake meat).... am I wrong?

Me, I'm 21 months post-op and I have completely eliminated carbonated drinks.  I drink 1 cup of decaf coffee in the morning and after tha****er, water and more water.  I no longer eat anything fried.  Although I have eaten KFC or Popeye's chicken after surgery, but only 1 or 1 1/2 chicken meat only, completely taking out the batter & skin.  I don't do any of their side dishes because with the chicken meat, I usualy get satisfied.  I no longer eat potatoes, especially french fries.  I have replaced all of my fattening food attitives with everything fat free.  Like fat free salad dressing or fat free mayo.

Before my surgery, I used to snack on candy bars and anything and everything chocolate.  I love to bake so when I would bake chocolate chip cookies, I used to down so many.  I no longer do that.  I still love to bake but now, I bake because I love to bake and all the baked goods, I take with me to work and share with my co-workers. 

I also no longer eat ice cream.  Before my surgery, every Tuesday, my husband & I would get 2 to 3 scoops of ice cream at Baskin Robins.  I no longer do that.  I have replaced that snack with either cucumber or some type of fruit. 

I no longer eat rice, just because I choose not to and plus, I am so used to not eating rice these days that I don't crave it at all.
