Talking Nice wow in a restaurant!

Hi all,

Last night I went to dinner with DH, my brother & sister in law at Longhorn steak house. I was so proud of myself during and after! Pre-op I would have eaten an appetizer, full meal and maybe dessert. Last night I ate 1/4 of a salad with only a tsp of dressing, 3 oz of fillet mignon, and less than 1/4 of a baked potato! I skipped the bread & butter entirely and I really enjoyed my meal and the company. I was able to give a lot of my meal away and still bring more than enough home to have another meal for DH or myself.

It felt so awesome to go out to eat and just eat a little bit! I have never done that before without feeling completely deprived! What a miracle! I am loving my surgery.

It was also nice that I was wearing capris & a blouse that are 4 sizes smaller than where I was just 8 weeks ago too! I am really proud of myself!

Thanks for sharing my joy!

PS: I rode my bike 4.25 miles outside yesterday and felt great too!

Amy

Alt Weight Loss Surgery Insurance
Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery.
Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.

Hi Edie,

I ordered the 7 oz fillet and ate a little less than half of it. I don't know if that 7 oz is before or after cooking but I figure it was very close to 3 oz.

I hope you're feeling better and getting stronger every day!

Amy

Congratulations on a wonderful new experience. The part that made me think was about you riding your bike. You are doing so wonderful due to the fact that you are working the whole program with your new tool. Thanks for sharing. Keep up the good work. Renee'
