Had to visit my step son's "chef of the day" at school. He had to invent a restaruant, design the menu, calculate the food cost, organize and manage his crew, cook and present the menu. His Dad and I and a few other guests were invited. I was worried about everything....not paying attention and eating too much too fast and pb-ing....or not being able to eat at all.......or eating way too much.....but, I ended up being able to eat 1/3 of everything (small portions anyways) and no memorable incidents occurred. When no one was watching I passed the leftovers to my SIL's plate...LOL...(pre-planned), didn't want to embarass the poor kid having his step mom not eating his first dinner out of culinary school.

Anyhow, so happy that I managed a civilized dinner out.

Wow, I'm impressed! It sounds like you have everything under control. I had my first two PB incidents this week after having my band for about four months. Fortunately, the first one was at home last Saturday. I took a nap and didn't know the band tightens back up like in the morning. It only took two cheeze-its and they came back up with a vengence! The second time was Tuesday where I had a bite of chicken at lunch. Again, it came right up. I've been very good to do Soup and mushies the rest of the week with no problems. I think reason for the tight restriction was Water weight from my period. I am learning but it is a challenge everyday. One never knows how the band will react.

Congrats on your victory and I'm sure you were proud of your future chef.
