So this weekend I went to three different restaurants with my mother, and grandmother for Mother's Day. And I'm proud to say that although I'm still in my soft food stage I did pretty good I had fish ceviche in one of the restaurants that I also ate the next day for lunch, and I had bean soup at another place and shared it with my sister and best friend, and the ultimate challenge going to a Dominican restaurant ???? I'm Dominican, and I love the food from the place I went with my mother and grandmother, but I just ordered baked salmon which was served with fried plantains that I gave to my grandmother to eat, and I'm still eating some of that salmon for lunch today. Although it might not seem like much I think is a big deal for me I love food and I went to 3 different restaurants over this past weekend, and stayed within the boundaries of my diet in all three of them. ????????????

Excellent! I too went to a couple of restaurants. it's just knowing your boundaries and enjoying the company. I also got lots of compliments from family and friends. It feels good because I am not the only one seeing it. I feel good!!

That's awesome !! Right now restaurants sound like the scariest place on earth right now to me I'm so afraid of dumping or something making me sick!

TXMissy I know unfortunately other people see the changes in my body more than I do....but ooh well I'm just going to keep working hard until I start to see it too

I know at Band07 that's how I felt too but I didn't have a choice and I had to eat, and I felt very proud because I didn't upset my stomach and stayed within the boundaries that my diet requires ????????????

I keep it simple. A cup of soup, beans, grilled chicken. Stay away from the obvious like fried, greasy, sweet foods. I was determined not to change my family's routine or meal time. I'm not going to sit here and lie. When that chip basket is staring me in the face tempting me, all I want to do is grab one. I just remember that everything I am doing is going to keep me around a little longer.

Omg I'm dominican too and my mother in law is always cooking and it's making me crave all that food

Jenn0218 I cope by smelling the food lol...idk what it is but I just go to the kitchen deeply smell the food and it makes me me so much better ????

To be honest the dumping scares me so as much as I crave I rather not be in pain lol so I do the same and just smell it
