Dining Question......

[ericamcl]

Hi All,

I am a gastric bypass patient.
DH and I are headed to the world in September, and he and I were discussing where he would like me to make reservations to.

By then, I will be 13 month post-op and I should be able to eat a little more than I can now, but I still want to be cautious.

My question is this - will the chef at most table service restaurants make "special" accommodations for me if I request them?

Is it recommended that I put something in the "notes" section of the reservation confirmations noting that there may be some small modifications needed?
I don't mean anything too far out - just smaller portions, maybe tweak the food a little if need be. My stomach is super sensitive to a lot of things and I don't want to feel "ewwy" (as my nephew says) while in the world....
I will have to pay for the dining plan regardless - I just won't be eating nearly as much as I did on our last trip

Thanks!

You may find more answers to your questions on the Disabilities Board. They deal with these kinds of issues and you may find others who have been in your situation.
The chefs at Disney are very accomodating - as far as they can be. I don't know what kind of accomodations you need, but if it is something like leaving off a sauce, they will do that for you. If it is cooking something very different than the menu, than I don't know.
Good Luck

They are not going to send out a smaller portion, because another diner may see that dish leaving the kitchen and think it looks like a skimpy portion. If you would like a dish modified (e.g., no butter on the broccoli) then be sure to let your server know. Eat what you desire off the plate and don't worry about wasting food. Since you will be on the DDP then you can order fruit as your dessert and save it for a snack later.

Personally, I would stay away from the kid's meal, even though they are cheaper, they are generally loaded with carbs and fats. Order what you like and don't worry about the food you waste. You can also split entrees at any non buffet or AYCE places.
