All day long I was looking forward to going out to dinner. I had planed to have the lobster bisque. Fatty yes, but at the rate of calories I have been comsuming I could afford a few. The restaurant had an hour wwait, so we went some place else. I asked the server what type of Soup they had and she says chicken noodle. So, for $4 a bowl I got to have yet anoth cup of chicken broth! Oh well, maybe next time.

Similar thing happened to me, I ordered the only brothy soup they had and it ended up being about 1/4 cup of broth and an insane amount of delicious looking rice and chicken. LOL

Fortunately on my mushie phase I can have chicken, turkey, or fish as long as it's not fried. The other night we went to Woody's BBQ and I had a chicken breast filet drenched in BBQ sauce, about 1/2 a sweet potato and some green beans (I can have overcooked veggies as well). Yesterday we went to Golden Corral Buffet and I had baked salmon, brussel sprouts and squash/zuchinni. So I've been eating a lot of protein and veggies. Not a whole heckuva lot in the way of carbs but that's the way my dr wants it.

Oh...my first restaurant experience I had mashed potatoes...plain didn't want the gravy.....just that...nothing else....

a side order from my DH $0.99

My first restaurant experience was at great New Orleans inspired restaurant in DC. I was traveling on business and on strict clear liquids ... sat there with a bowl of chicken broth while others drank wine, had appetizers, entrees, dessert. It was torture, but I knew when I made it through that evening that I was committed to this lifestyle change. Since then, I've eaten out a few days and done just fine, most recently a breakfast meeting the day I started mushie food ... I was so excited to order an omlet!

Oh gosh....second restaurant experience DH and my mom decide to go out to Olive Garden. I did excellent.,,,,,except I know it is high in fat but it was yummy....I had zuppa toscana.....(creamy potatoe soup)....

delicious! just drank the liquids and smashed the potatoes...and made sure I didn't swallow any of the potatoe peels.
