Hi everyone,

Feel like I had a tiny victory today. I went to my first restaurant post surgery. It was a Mexican restaurant, which prior to surgery was my definition of heaven....Chips, salsa and margaritas!!! Mmmmm

Anyway, I sat in front of the basket of chips & salsa and it wasn't as difficult as I would have expected. I did eat ONE chip, ever so slowly, broken up multiple times, chewed what felt like a million.

I felt kinda silly only ordering a side of refried Beans and a Water, but it worked. I was even able to mix in a little salsa w/o any issues (I'm 11 days post op). I was happy about that because like I said, I have a weakness for salsa.

So yeah, that is it. I took the rest of the beans home and have enough for dinner.

Total damage: $3.99. I'm officially the cheapest date ever!! ❤️

21 pounds down!!

Refried Beans, guacamole, salsa fresca, YUM. As you get a little further along, chicken tortilla Soup, the insides of tacos, splitting fajitas.

No rice, minimal chips, carne asada is awesome.

YUM!

we went out to Longhorn Steakhouse today for my birthday. I had the flat Iron steak and asparagus. Ate one of the french fries, gave the rest to David and have plenty of steak and veg for work tomorrow. :-) I am 2 1/2 months out. Felt good to go out and enjoy the day. it was my first time eating out also.
