I have to go to Ruby Tuesday for dinner tonight with my inlaws. Today is my first day on solid food and I don't know what I should order. I have 3.5cc in my band. I want to stay high Protein low carb so I was thinking Petite Sirloin with grilled zucchini but I'm scared to eat steak. My plan would be to ask for a box with my meal and just eat my 1/2 cup portion then take the rest home....but how much steak and zucchini can you fit in half a cup? LOL I would much rather stay home where I know I'm safe but I gotta figure this out sooner or later.

Any input??

Since you are newly banded and it's the first day for solids, I would stay away from steak. Steak is harder for banded people to eat and you really should learn and get more comfortable with eating solids before you eat something like this in front of others. I would suggest getting soup or something softer to start with. Once you've been banded awhile and get the hang of eating with the band, then I would give a steak a go.

First day on solids, I would definitely stay away from steak. Your body, I'm sure, is still recovering and even though it's time for solids, I'd be cautious, especially in public! I would stick to soups,or something soft. Soup is often my go-to in public and/or if my band has been irritated or is otherwise being finicky!

They have salmon which isn't too bad. Potato works too. Then if all else fails soup

Good Luck

I would choose the crab cake appetizer.

I ended up ordering a classic cheeseburger plain with no bun and grilled zucchini. I only at a small amount of the burger and some of the zucchinis. I stopped when I felt satisfied. Brought the rest home and probably will get 2 more meals out of it. Nice!

Way to go!!!!!! You'll love eating solids again you'll have a new appreciation for them. Best of luck
