When I eat out, I look at the apps and the sides. I have no need to order a meal as I can only take a few ounces in anyways. More often than not, I eat a bowl of Soup. When I was immediately post op, I asked for more broth than the stuff inside and restaurants were happy to comply.

I make sure I look up the restaurant I am going to ahead of time so I can decide what I want. I also make sure I make suggestions about where we are going to so know there is something I can eat.

Lately, I've been doing a lot of Mexican. I order one soft taco, lose the shell, eat the meat, cheese and sour cream. lunch has been costing me about $2! Love that.

This weekend I went to Boston Market and got a Market Bowl which has two sides with about 3 ounces of rotisserie meat. I got chicken, sweet potato casserole, and green Beans. I ate all the meat and two bites of potato and green beans. It was really good- I am definitely getting that again!
