Ordering Kids Meals
Hey 👋 I am 3 months post-op, and everything is going well. I am 30 M and down 50 pounds since my pre-op liquid diet. :) One thing I haven't done because I am too nervous of ridicule, judgement, or being told "no" is to order off the kids' menu at restaurants.
Part of me wants to because the portions are better, and I am prepared for my explanation (that feels like an excuse) that I had bariatric surgery, so kid sizes are more appropriate for me. But I am afraid of the rejection or the disbelief or judgement. I think part of it is that most places say "12 or under only" or something along those lines, and that usually immediately makes me push the idea of ordering away, and I will just get the normal menu. (Don't get me wrong. I have NO problem ordering off the adult menu and having leftovers. This is just an area I want to explore but have not.)
Has anyone had and issues buying off the kids menu? Is this something you have done? What are your experiences?
Edit: Thanks for your help everyone. I am definitely a leftovers person. I just wanted to know other people's experiences. I appreciate them! :)
