So I was sleeved 12 days ago and am supposed to be having just high Protein liquids and cream Soups for the next 9 days. But I have a first date tonight and the guy made a dinner reservation at a very fancy restaurant. WITH NO Soup ON THE MENU! I don't know what to do. Just order a side of mashed potatoes (but even that's not allowed...however I have had them a couple times before thinking I was ok to eat them and didn't really have any issues)...order some entree and just push it around with my fork and pretend I'm eating but really just talk a ton so he doesn't notice? Ask them to make me a soup? Do fancy restaurants normally do that sort of thing? I don't want to appear too picky, or tell him about my surgery.

He does not know about the surgery. I've only met him one time previously. But I also had a hiatal hernia repaired so that's what I've been telling most people I had surgery for, who have been asking about my eating habits, etc. I mean people who only have hiatal hernia repair also have to stick to soft foods and liquids for a while too. So I could just tell him that. But that still leaves me with nothing to eat on the menu, short of asking him to make a reservation somewhere else.
