Hi Guys. I really need some suggestions. Hubby and I will be celebrating our 22nd wedding anniversary on Friday. One of my favorite restaurants is the Melting Pot and I know that I can't eat there. Does anyone have a suggestion on any sleeve-friendly restaurants?

I am 10 weeks out and am doing great! I've lost 49 lbs and have gone from a size 18w to a size 12 in pants and enjoy my 3 mile walks 4-5 days per week. My sleeve is amazing.
