My new favorite part about eating out is taking home the leftovers and not having to cook for the next 2-3 meals.
Order whatever Protein looks yummy (and soft), eat your 3 bites and then take home the rest!! Since you are going to the movies afterwards, bring a small cooler with you for the car.
The server will probably be concerned that you didn't like the meal, just reassure them that the meal was delicious and you are not that hungry tonight and they'll be happy.

I agree, Chili or a broth type Soup would be a good bet.

I try to pick stuff that makes yummy day 2 leftovers. If you do tex-mex, I love fajitas, and just eat the vegetables and chicken and a little guac, do a bite of Beans, and take the rest home. It's fabulous the next day as leftovers for me.
Salmon is soft and usually comes as a small portion. Take half your chicken home. I love leftovers though, and I know not everyone is into that.

All good suggestions so far. If you're eating with someone, consider splitting something. I'm lucky that my wife is willing to split with me 99% of the time.
Considering this is your first day off pureed food, maybe take it easy today. Be kind to yourself. Maybe eat a little less so you don't stuff yourself and eat a little more later. Just because others are eating all at once doesn't mean you have to. Good luck!

I would have said Soup, but you must be tired of drinking your food already.. As Heather I suggested, Salmon is a good choice. Eat what you can and take the rest home with you..

Cantina Laredo maybe? You can split chicken fajitas with someone.

First day off of the pureed stage!!!!
Going out to eat tonight and then catching a movie. I understand that I will be ordering and eating only Protein. Probably just 2 - 3 oz.
Any dinner location ideas in the north Dallas area that has a pretty friendly menu? We usually end up at Houston's but I don't want to pay $25-27 for my meal and only two - three bites of food. (I'm not cheap, just trying to adjust to this new lifestyle)
Really don't want to be the guy asking or explaining about a kids meal "due to weight loss surgery".
Any ideas?

If the restaurant has chili, order a cup instead of a bowl. That's always a safe bet. Otherwise, the appetizer's menu is usually a good place to look for small portions and no sides.
