SEVENTYSIXGIRL 51 Posted May 2, 2016 Hi everyone, Feel like I had a tiny victory today. I went to my first restaurant post surgery. It was a Mexican restaurant, which prior to surgery was my definition of heaven....Chips, salsa and margaritas!!! Mmmmm Anyway, I sat in front of the basket of chips & salsa and it wasn't as difficult as I would have expected. I did eat ONE chip, ever so slowly, broken up multiple times, chewed what felt like a million. I felt kinda silly only ordering a side of refried Beans and a Water, but it worked. I was even able to mix in a little salsa w/o any issues (I'm 11 days post op). I was happy about that because like I said, I have a weakness for salsa. So yeah, that is it. I took the rest of the Beans home and have enough for dinner. Total damage: $3.99. I'm officially the cheapest date ever!! ❤️ 21 pounds down!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LipstickLady 25,682 Posted May 2, 2016 Refried Beans, guacamole, salsa fresca, YUM. As you get a little further along, chicken tortilla Soup, the insides of tacos, splitting fajitas.No rice, minimal chips, carne asada is awesome. YUM! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
