Eating Out

[docangtx12 20]

4 weeks out... Eating out for 1st time... And since I live in South Texas... At a Mexican restaurant! I can't believe how little I ate compared with what I ate pre-surgery... I found cilantro chicken skewers on the menu, and could only eat about 2 pieces of chicken off 1 skewer (2oz), and am so full! I did eat some salsa (maybe a tablespoon)... But It feels so good to eat normalish food, and feel such power over the food!! I am down 34 pound overall since pre-surg 2 week diet, and it feels great!

I will be 4 weeks tomorrow and went out for the first time last night:) It was easier than I thought it would be! I got the Soup and salad combo. Ate a couple of bites of salad that I chewed the heck out of, and the seafood bisque which was delicious. My son finished my salad and my husband my Soup, lol. It was nice to know I could still go out! Your weight loss is fantastic! I am down 23 overall. 3 lbs to "onderland"!!!!

I love Mexican restaurants - lots of sleeve-friendly options. Many times I get the fajitas, and just make a little salad of meat, Beans, sour cream and salsa (and peppers/onions) without the tortillas. Or, if there's an enchilada dish or something that sounds really good, i'll just order it and eat around the tortilla. Taco salads are always a good option too if you skip the crunchy bowl, but they aren't so great to take home leftovers (the lettuce gets icky).

Oh I'm so glad you posted this!!!! My husband & I love Mexican!! I have been worried that I wasn't gonna be able to eat anything at a Mexican restaurant! I am only 2 wks out from surgery, but I am looking forward to my 4th week to be able to go out to eat for my first time since surgery!! :;

My first experience eating out was @ 6 weeks postop. I ordered Chorizo and white queso dip. I ate 3 bites and done. Pre op I would have demolished it. The owner even came to my table and asked if I didnt like it. I showed him my scars and told him what was up. He came alive because so many of his family members had it done also.

Ate out again today... This time at Houlihans... I felt like I was being so spoily and got the Tuscan salad like I used to get, except just the side salad portion, and could only eat about 1/3, and had a few fried pickles... Totally full!!! Amazed I am so full and satisfied on about 200 calories of food!! I love my sleeve!!
