Guys I have a huge problem. My team wants to go out to lunch today and of course they want to go to the dreaded Chinese.

I'm still on the puréed stage until tomorrow and can't see anything on the menu to eat. The Soups are full of bits and probably loads of MSG.

Would it be rude if I don't eat? I want to pull out of the lunch but it's my team that I manage. Soooo not ready for this.

I would probably just order the wonton Soup and eat the broth only.

Of course it would NOT be rude to not eat!! Your health comes first. Maybe tea or broth?

No time like the present to get started on your new way of life. Will be many adjustments along the way. Go and have fun with the team. Eat or don't eat. We can learn to not make it about food.

I tried the vegetable soup which all I was going to have was the broth but OMG did I gag. Had so much MSG I could tell. Needless to say I didn't have anymore.

I went out to sushi the other night (2 months out) and had 2 pieces of albacore sashimi and it worked out great. Just get the Soup, it's not like you're not going to eat much of it.
