State: Ontario, Canada | Dinner Out!!
I'm excited!! Tonight myself and my two girlsfriends(since kindergarden) are going out for dinner! I havn't been to a restaurant since surgery, I know I have to be careful about what to select, but I'm very excited. Also, I havn't told either one of them about my banding. I told them I had a little news to share (now they think I'm pregnant  ) . I put a brochure in my purse to help explain what I did, that usually helps. Anyway, big night out!!:hungry:

That is awesome Cloe! I think it is cool to even still be friends with them from kindergarten!! Have a GREAT time. I'm sure the brochure will help to explain. You better tell them right off the bat that you aren't preggers! LOL.
You'll be okay at the restaurant...just be wise!!!
Have fun!

City: Seattle Area State: Washington | Its a tricky thing telling all your friends. I found that it's just such a long thing to explain and go over- its taxing to have to keep re telling the whole thing. Now that it's done you will be better off, it's not like they can try to talk you out of it!
Let us know how it went!?
YODA............IM A MAJOR STAR WARS FAN (geek) TOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!YAY
MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU, ALWAYS.
3 days till my banding!!!!:clap2:

Thanks Loriely....but it can be deceiving!!! Half of it was lost during the 2 week preop diet. I'm really struggling here without restriction; despite having had 2 fills!! I go for a 3rd next week. I hope that will finally do the trick. Afterall, if I could do it by willpower alone I wouldn't be here!!!!

You might want to ask for a seat near the restrooms, just in case! Just remember to take small bites and chew, chew, chew. I tend to be more disciplined when I'm eating out, (I eat much slower).
Enjoy!

Well, had a great night out. I actually enjoyed a glass of wine before dinner. I know, I know, no drinking before meals! It can't hurt once in a while right? I did it anyways :p ,:) . I ordered chicken sauteed in mushrooms, red peppers and tomatoes. Roasted potatos and beans. It was all very tender, but I cut very small peices and chewed until I thought my jaw would fall off. NO PROBLEMS!! I had to bring over half of it home for hubbie. My friends were very excited and are very happy for me. But having them there after telling them was good precaution for me, I certainly didn't want to PB in front of them, then they would think I was crazy to have had the surgery.

Thanks Loriely, I lost 27 pounds during 3 weeks pre-op diet. I have an awful lot to lose, I'm sure it will slow up as I go along. I hope it dosent, but Im sure it will.:)
