Dining out

Clinical Advisor

From A Bigger Life

There is no reason you can’t get back to eating out at restaurants and cafes after surgery, it may even be easier for you now. Catching up with friends for lunch is a great reason to get back on your feet and back to your normal routine.

For the first couple of times go to somewhere that is familiar to you. You will be less anxious if you know the menu, where the toilets are and where the parking facilities are. Other than that, go out and enjoy yourself!
