I went out to dinnner for the first time Saturday night... with My husband and one of my daughters..( the other was at a friends and 1 at work!!) its a place we have gone to for at least 15 years 1 time a week... so I walked in and they were like wow Kelly you look great!!!! ( I have not told them or that many people what I was doing!!!)  so we sit down to eat and My hubby gets a shrimp platter and my daughter orders Baked clams !!!! (YUMMY ) no I didnt have any!!! LOL But their baked clams were always the best!!!  so now its my turn to order and I freeze.... ughhhhhhh so I ordered a water no ice , and a ham and cheddar sandwich hold the bread..... LOL shes like ok no problem...

My 2 slices of ham and 2 slices of cheddar cheese come.... I ate  1 slice of cheese and half a slice of ham....

when kaitlyn ( the waitress) came back over to see if we wanted anything else she looked at my plate and said to me .... so how long ago did you have your gastric surgery... I was shocked... I froze and finally said 3 weeks ago.. annd then said how did you know.. she said well I can see all the weight you have lost and your eating very little and protien so 2 and 2 = 4... I was like ok... but dont tell anyone its private.... wow I guess its more common then I thought!!! : - )

Some waitresses are very knowledgeable. At least she did not try and push dessert on you, lol. Keep up the good work.

thank you very much and Yes good thing she did know i would hvae had to say no to desert!!!!  : - )
