Can you still eat in restaurants?

When traveling I eat the egg white and white cheese out of the as sandwich, ask for side order of scrambled eggs, or Wendy's chili. I have continued to lose weight on every vacation since I had the sleeve surgery! Plan ahead and look up foods or bring things with you in a cooler.

I had this on Friday night when we went out for our anniversary. It is an appetiser of crispy pork with scampi, pickled cucumber and radish, and avocado. It was DIVINE. I didn't finish the cucumber.

I went to dinner at Cafe Rio last night - we needed something quick and I didn't plan ahead to eat at home...

I ordered a Single Taco Meal - I had my taco made with roast beef and had them hold the rice, but would like pinto Beans on the side.

I ate the inside of the taco which included cheese, the roast beef and some lettuce topped off with some pico. I ate some of the Beans, but not a lot - maybe one tablespoon. I even ate some of the shell, but knowing I don't feel well after I eat a lot of carbs, I took it easy. I was completely satisfied.

It was delish!

Yes, I can have pork as Protein. I am 20 months post OP so there isn't really anything I 'can't' have, though there are still some things that don't agree with me.

A good go to at any place is a grilled chicken sandwich minus the bread. I eat the lettuce and Tomato as a salad on the side when I'm able to. Didn't really eat out until after 7 weeks post op though.

I ordered from Jimmy Johns last night and got an Unwich for the first time. Same sandwich, no bread, wrapped in lettuce...it was actually pretty good. I felt like a sap paying that much for the sandwich! LOL

Since my original post, I have to say that I am enjoying dining out more. I like to go to restaurants that serve tapas - small portions that are shared across the table such as Nordstrom's Blue Stove. I enjoy grilled scallops served over a salad. I also occaisionally go to 5 Guys and get a bunless cheese burger with mushrooms, pepper, onions and A1 sauce. I also go to Chipotle and get a burrito bowl, no rice, double Beans and pork (carnitas). I did just manage to eat a chicken quesadilla - all of the "fast food" items I get at least 2 meals out of. So, definately, my options are getting better with time.
