Going out to eat fir the first time

[gabybab 696]

I'm so worried. Going out for the first time in a couple hours with family.

I can not eat a lot, so I'm worried how I will do.

Any suggestions? We as re going to Apple Bees and I'm goin to check the menu in just a few minutes. Not sure if I should just ask to share with someone, like my husband or daughter?

Have fun!!!

If you can't sharesies with someone, then I still do this today:

Order from the "add on Protein menu". LOL. Like you know, if someone orders a steak, or an entree you can "Add 4 shrimp for $4.50, or Add chicken for $3.50" That way, you can steal a couple bites of veg and or salad from someone's plate and have a perfect size protein to work on. I also will add sliced avocado on the side. Just cuz I love my avocado. And it works at almost every restaurant so far! No explanations necessary. I keep my bread plate (since I don't eat bread) and just eat off of it.

I do this more often than any other thing. That way the leftovers are manageable and are just plain protein that will go with anything. I like it way better than ordering an appetizer. Apps are too greasy for me and are too calorie dense in my way of thinking.

Checking the menu ahead of time is a fantastic idea! Maybe order an appetizer. How far out from surgery are you? I'm already thinking of my first diner out, and think I'll have a single meatball with cheese and sauce, or grilled chicken. Good luck, and enjoy yourself!

You could get the salmon with veggie sides. I would go for the Thai shrimp salad hold the wontons.

Thanks for all the ideas. I think I'm going to the add on grilled shrimp skewer. It comes with 5 shrimp. I totally eyed the salmon, but we went to costco today and are having family over, so I bought the fresh salmon.

I will let you know how it goes. 🤗

You can make a meal out of you dinner for a few days. That's what I do, I eat on it for a few days and then throw it out. You will do great.

So, I ordered the chicken and shrimp. I ate about 6 small shrimp, 1 small bite of chicken and a few bites of onion and mushroom.

My sleeve is very tight right now and I'm lucky to get 1/3 cup in.

I felt a little uneasy. Everyone was enjoying appetizers and drinks.

In time after weightloss, maybe I will take in more. It was yummy anyways.
