Bariatric Surgery Restaurant Cards

Thanks for sharing the link!  I have not decided if I will use the card or not.  I am 2 months post op and have eaten out many times.  Depending on the restaurant, I will order from the kid's menu (Boston Market, Mall Chinese Restaurants, PeiWei)...otherwise, my husband and I share something.  When I do have to order something just for myself, I eat what I can and take the rest home.  

I don't see anything wrong with the cards.  If I presented a card at a restaurant and they didn't want to honor it, then I probably wouldn't go back to the restaurant.  They can choose to have my money or they can choose not to...it is as simple as that.  

Good company or not, I just can't validate going to a buffet.  My favorite restaurant is a delicious Brazilian steak house but I just can't see going there and paying $50++ per person to eat a fourth of a cup of meat.  Oh well...that's life.

When I go out to eat, I have no problem with taking food home or just sharing with someone.  My coworkers don't know that I've had WLS so I just order something small - soup and salad, small entree...and eat what I can.  I worked with some skinny *****es that picked at their food and hardly ate and no one questioned them.  (I'm not calling them "*****es" because they are skinny...I'm saying "*****es" because that's what they were).  Anyway, if someone questions me I just say that I am "cutting back" or whatever. 

Most children's menus are absolutely vile.  I don't understand how people can let their kids eat corndogs, hotdogs, chicken nuggets and mac n cheese as an actual entree on a regular basis.  When you try to order off the kids menu, you will see just how bad it is.

The other poster, *****plied to you with the "soapbox rant" was a bit much.  If you hate the card then don't use it...it is as simple as that.

You're such a troll.

Just because you strapped on the feedbag everytime you pulled your fat ass up to a buffet doesn't mean that every overweight person has or does. 

Sometimes people are fat because of the quality of the food of they food they are consuming, moreso than the quantity.  No doubt there are definitely obese folks who look at a buffet as an opportunity to gorge, but not all fat people "eat enough for three" simply because they're eating at a buffet.

I love your sweeping generalizations.

I heard about these cards and it would be nice to print some out and carry them to use if needed!

Thought I'd share the link!
