I went out to eat for the first time since surgery = SUCCESS!

Today is my husband's birthday and we decided to go eat at a seafood restaurant in our town. I told the waitress that I recently had weight loss surgery and I can only eat a tiny bit. She suggested ordering off the kids menu and that she would ask the chef to boil 4 shrimp for me. I was stoked that she was so accomodating. Well the shrimp came and I found them to be a bit to chewy. BTW this was the first time to eat meat Protein so doing it in a restaurant was nerve wracking! Anyway, I decided I would try some of my husbands baked flounder. I was able to eat about an ounce and a few bites of baked potato (swiped off my daughters plate ). I was so happy everything went down great. I definately feel like I got fuller faster. I can usually eat 2 oz of refried Beans without difficulty, so I was a bit surprised to only eat a tiny bit of fish. However, I have some yummy leftovers that is going to make a wonderful bedtime snack

Just wanted to share......this is a huge deal for me and I am so happy!

That's awesome! I am so glad you are feeling better.

Yay! I find steamed/baked fish goes down comfortably. Sometimes boiled shrimp works, but it works best cold with remoulade or cocktail sauce (aka "food lube"). I still can only eat 2 moderate-sized shrimp at a time. I'm so glad things went well for you!

You will find things go down different at different times. Like 2 days ago I could only eat maybe an ounce of steak, but tonight I put down 2 oz of talapia, an ear of corn and some green beans!
