Help me decide - got wedding menu for tonight

[trekker954 421]

Yesterday travel and attended two pre wedding functions. I fell way below my Protein and Water levels but survived lots of temptations. I had a tiny bit of crab cake at one restaurant with some lobster bits and sauce. Yummy and tolerated but only a little. Then a little chicken francese, about 2 bites.

Tonight I've heard my choices for main meal. Chilean sea bass; filet mignon, some chicken dish, two Pasta choices.

Oh, I'm 31 days out. Phase 3, alot I rarely blend, do more with my teeth. I want to try and eat more fish but not a fan. Alot I'd be starving if not for my tuna fish.

This will be an elegant wedding and the venue has excellent food. But will I like the bass? Or should I try the steak? I bet I couldn't get much down. Or just stick with chicken that I know my tummy tolerates.

I'm assuming I will avoid all food and alcohol at the cocktail hour. Maybe a meatball if they have them

How should I approach this. I'm sort of freaking out because I didn't have enough good choices yesterday and fell below.

Hmmmmm. I say try the bass or chicken. Chicken can be hard early out if it's too dry, so I wouldn't want you to have some sort of "episode" in public if it gets stuck or something. Same with the steak (unless you cut it into tiny, tiny pieces). I think the bass would be easier to eat and go down better. Let us know what you end up doing!

Just attended my grandsons wedding in South Florida. I can arrest to the Chilean Sea Bass being a delicious melt in your mouth delight. I don't think you could handle steak at this point. Relax, enjoy yourself, and eat slowly!

I do like fish it's it's covered in yummy sauces. Lol.

Last night the table ordered garlic lobster sauce bread, OMG it "looked" delicious. I had a 1/4 of a crab cake and did take some of the lobster sauce which had bits of lobster to moisten my crab cake and mashed it all up. I expected my tummy to reject but I took about a half hour to eat that little bit and was fine.

Have a Protein shake before the wedding so you can reach your goal and it will help if you end up not being able too eat much. Steak is very hard to digest and isn't allowed on my plan until after 3 months. Like you, I don't eat a lot of fish, but that is the best choice for 31 days out.

I am going to a wedding tonight also but was told they have various food stations for dinner. Hopefully I will find something good for me.

"But will I like the bass?"

I don't know if you will, but I think that Chilean sea bass, if not overcooked, is an elegant taste. Yes, elegant.

I would go with fish you will be eating so little of it worth a try and it will likely be softer.

Sea bass is a meatier fish, I am not a big fish person but it is a milder more acceptable one for me. If you are worried about digesting or end up with a different meat you could have some papaya enzyme chewables My nut recommended if problem esp with meat. I have only used once it is a digestive aid, it helped.

If it's the Stewart Manor Country Club go with the fish.

Garden City Hotel I'd do the chicken or the fish.

Trying to remember who is specifically in Garden City and not considered Mineola or Franklin Square - I've eaten in them all lol

Personally, I would go with the bass, especially if you are in soft foods. But, I love fish!
