Guest guest Posted September 1, 2006 Report Share Posted September 1, 2006 You may have heard I had dinner with friends at BW3s last night. So we're sitting down, about eight of us, and I'm asked if I want something to drink. No, nothing thank you. Water? No, nothing thank you. The waitress leaves, brings back the other's drinks, we order food, I get medium hot wings, all of that's delivered. Then she says, " Are you SURE you don't want anything to drink " . To which I reply, " No, I don't drink when I eat a meal. " She looked perplexed and left. My friends who are some what used to my having had surgery sort of chuckled and figured I'd really baked her noodle. Ya gotta have fun with this stuff and laugh once in a while. Next time I might try saying, " Well, okay, I'll take a glass of water if you insist " and just not drink any of it. Or just order an empty glass and see how that goes over. Maybe even ask to have the air in it refilled or something. Sheesh, BACK UP OFF ME! Mike in GR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 1, 2006 Report Share Posted September 1, 2006 I know that waitresses don't understand gastric bypass people, but I do get tired of explaining myself all the time. I do order a glass of water though, it's free and I do have to sip after a meal, even if I only do one final sip after I have eaten all that I am going to eat. I can't take a real swallow, but at least a sip especially if I try to eat hot wings (which I don't like hot wings) and I couldn't imagine at least drowning my tongue into the cold water to cool it off after eating hot stuff. Anyway, I know I end up leaving a full glass there when I leave, but that does reduce the weird looks and stupid questions from waitresses.

Guest guest Posted September 1, 2006 Report Share Posted September 1, 2006 One word...Celery. Lots and lots of celery. I got a whole three sticks with my meal. Gee thanks. I think it was 40 cents. Well now that's great. I'm going to bring my own celery next time. What a farce. Anyway, celery isn't a liquid, calorie free, fills me up instead of the bad for me wings, is a veggie, etc. Try that instead of water. Hudsonville Michigan, a suburb of GR, produces a great deal of the nation's celery. Mike in GR (with celery) > > > > You may have heard I had dinner with friends at BW3s last night.
