I eat in restaurants in Toronto all the time. Don't be afraid to make adjustments to the food, i.e., no potatoes just veggies or not candied pecans in the salad. Salad Dressing on the side. Just be prepared to bring food home with you. I can never finish what's on my plate.
I also look at the appetizers. Sometimes I just order from the starter or appetizer menu. Smoked salmon and a small salad or grilled calamari, shrimp ****tail etc.
Good Luck!

There are good chicken BBQ places. Ask for no sauce, and add your own hot sauce if so inclined. Also Nandos has unbreaded chicken. You can go to most places. Just choose a protein (manage any sauce), choose a non-starchy veg for your side (broccoli, peppers, asparagus etc). Steak, seafood, chicken, it's all good.

I am not familiar with Toronto restaurants but you can usually always find something bariatric friendly anywhere you go. Just skip the carb side, ask for sauce on the side, you can find protein anywhere.
Have a good weekend!
Over 100 lbs lost! and 13 lbs below goal weight!
I have taken the orientation and my first appointment with the psychiatrist is in august. I'm prepared for a long wait but now that I've made the decision to do it i'm wishing it would just happen. I guess its good to start making changes now and prepare for whats coming.
I am 7 months out from surgery, down over 100 lbs now, and me and the Hubby are taking a trip down south to Toronto for the weekend. What and where do you like to eat that is somewhat bariatric friendly downtown Toronto? Please note that I am also allergic to eggs since before surgery and I also have not had any issues eating anything as of yet (except a dried fig, won't be doing that again lol), I don't eat white bread, white rice or simple carbs at all. I will be bringing and buying stuff from the grocery stores as well but the hubby would like to take me out for dinner a couple times throughout our trip. Any recommendations?
Thanks!

Hello all. I got out for an extended walk last night so I feel good about that but tonight will depend on the weather. I can always use my indoor cycle but its just not the same.
B - greek yogurt
S - turkey pepperettes
L - chicken veggie soup
S - 1/2 protein shake
D - leftover roast chicken, broccoli
S - maybe PB on melba toast but hopefully won't be hungry
Stay away rain! 
Ginny needs to camp and farmers need to plant their crops.
Good morning :)
Nothing much planned for today which is good because I don't seem to sleep well in this weather. We live in a two storey house and upstairs gets too hot and humid. It's almost better once it gets hotter and the AC turns on.
Accountability: I did not feel like eating yesterday which was good and bad. I ate very little during meals but picked up some snacks.
Post-op four years and three months.
Breakfast - protein shake
Snack - boiled egg and oatmeal
Lunch - tbd
Snack - pepperette and cheese
Dinner - possibly leftover chicken but that doesn't sound good right now
Snack - SF pudding
All water and vits.
