What You Order At Resturants

[wishfulaimee 16]

Hi everyone,

So I went on a trip, I am 5 weeks out. I just ordered Soup when we went to a restaurant. But it was filled with all this other stuff. I gave it a try but it didn't settle well.

So what so you order when you go out???

My favorite thing to order right now is salmon, I never liked it before but Chilis has a chipotle salmon right now that is awesome!

I order simple (uncrusted, unbattered, un-covered in cheese, etc) lean Protein of some sort (baked or broiled fish, a good steak, grilled chicken, etc), and some non-starchy veggies. If I take a taste of something and I can't stand it (my taste buds have changed significantly), I will ask the waiter to take it back....they will, and will remove it from the bill. Same goes if I try a bite and it causes my sleeve to turn somersaults. If you're just starting on "real" food (as I was at 5 weeks), think simple, relatively plain fare....not a lot of spices or seasonings. The last thing you want is to get sick in a restaurant setting!

All the best!

Oh brother.... how often do you get sick? Nausea and vomiting?

I went to a birthday party at a bowling alley yesterday. I ordered a grilled chicken sandwich and ate only the chicken. Worked for me.

You can order a scrambled egg with cheese, I was able to eat refried Beans, and spicy did not bother me so I could eat chili. Once my husband ordered chili verde (mexican pork in sauce) and because it was so moist I was able to eat it, if I got a Soup it was a broth type not a cream. Just sat better in my tummy. Most important for me was to make sure I only ate a tiny (1/4th cup) portion like I would at home, even though a regular serving was given to me.

I order what sounds good to me, which is usually plain steak, chicken or fish. I will ask for sauce on the side, especially at places like Chili's where everything seems to revolve around spicy peppers these days. Some days my sleeve will allow spicy food and other days it won't.

The added benefit of ordering sauces on the side is that when I take home my leftovers, I can put a different flavor on the meat to make it seem like a new meal rather than a leftover meal.

For veggies, I usually only order steamed veggies, mostly broccoli. I can only eat 3 or 4 bites of that before I'm stuffed, but I know Rex will tolerate it.

When I went from mushies to real food and ate out, I approached it differently than most do, and I still do this. I get something totally different that I wouldn't try anywhere else or cook at home. For me, this is the time to experiment to see what else i can eat. But as a side note, I haven't suffered from any nausea, or slimies, knock on wood. At home I cook & eat fish almost everyday, so when I go out, I want something different and fun. I always order from the appetizer menu and sometimes ask them to switch things around. I tip well so I have no qualms about asking for something special. I even went into a bakery with my son last week. He got a great eggplant sandwich on their incredible bread. I asked for a simple scrambled egg. If you go into local independent restaurants you usually can ask for simple foods that aren't on the menu. I eat so little now that I appreciate what I do eat.

To the OP, how'd the trip go?
