Buffet Dining - Lap Band Style

My mom's birthday was yesterday, and every year we go to the casino, eat at the buffet and gamble.  It's tradition. 

Last year I was pretty new-ish to the Lap Band world, a little over  year out but could still eat my way around the band.  Today however, was not the case.




My first plate was this salad.   It was about 2 cups of spring mix lettuce, parmesan cheese, bacon, and ceasar dressing.  I ate half.

This was my plate.   1 fried pork potsticker, 2 pieces of sushi, 3 small pieces of teriyaki beef,  1 piece of fried cod with tarter sauce, and 6 glazed baby carrots.    I ate the cod, the potsticker, one piece of the sushi, one piece of beef and 3 carrots and I was done.

And we all know you dont got to a casino buffet and not have dessert....


The plate on the left was mom's.  She had a mini creme puff and a neapolitan mousse.  I too had 1 mini creme puff, and the gelato to the right.  I ate one two bites of each flavor, loaded oatmeal cookie, and lemon peach. What you're seeing here is what we left on the table.  

Note to self - eat the gelato FIRST.  It was SO good.
