First restaurant meal?

I haven't had my sleeve yet, (August24) but I envision crab or boiled shrimp since I live on the coast.

Paneer tikka masala from our local Indian place, no rice. I ate about 1/4 cup and had a few sips of a mango lassi until I got all worried about the lassi and whether it would be considered a "fluid" and if I shouldn't have it right after the paneer. I ate a little more of the paneer the next day for lunch but then told my husband he could eat the rest and drink the rest of the lassi.

This was in the soft foods phase. I could probably eat a bit more of the paneer now at 6.5 weeks out, but I still need to ask my NUT about the lassi. :)

Crab cakes at bonefish grill. Can only eat 1/2 a crab cake at a time. They are the only place with crab cakes that are basically all crab and almost no fillers

Does anyone know how long it takes for your stomach swelling to go down? I'm eating almost all my Protein but I can only eat a few bites and I'm full! I'll be 2 weeks post- op tomorrow.

We went out to a Mediterranean restaurant last night and it was my first time at a restaurant as well. I ordered the baked fish (tilapia) and it came with a salad and rice. I shared with my kid (he's one and can eat like a grown man). I ate my couple of bites and the Protein made me feel so much better. My husband and my kid ended up tag teaming my meal as I was trying to enjoy it. At least I saved money because the kid didn't need a kids meal.

Roasted chicken while I was on vacation, it was at a dinner theater. I felt the weirdest mix of sad and proud when I watched the rest of the plate go back to the kitchen!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
