Sammie1221 21 Posted August 8, 2017 Get the healthiest thing they have bake, broil, and/or steam. Remember no eating and drinking at the same time. However, Applebee's would not have been my choice JUST three months post-op, too risky. Too much process foods that are high in calories and sodium. Have a fabulous time! 1 Pjammie12 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
XYZXYZXYZ1955 675 Posted August 8, 2017 There's a cedar-grilled salmon, though it comes with a maple mustard glaze--maybe you could ask them to leave that off? Or just order one or two of the "side" shrimp skewers--fewer calories that way. The salmon also comes with steamed spinach; you could have the steamed broccoli and/or fire-grilled veggies as sides. Take half or three-quarters of it home for other meals! Three of the four Soups aren't bad for calories: Tomato basil, chicken tortilla, or southwest steak and black bean: avoid the French onion. (Also avoid any other appetizers, they're ludicrous in terms of calories.) There really doesn't seem to be any way to get plain grilled chicken or fish there, though. Remember to focus on seeing your friends and eat really slowly. Good luck! 1 3boysmama reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xoxococojay 842 Posted August 8, 2017 Never been, but i know they have steaks and burgers. Just sub starches for veggies and enjoy what you can. 2 kozyjozie and 3boysmama reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
heycrystal2052 430 Posted August 8, 2017 They have a great healthy, no cal/low carb menu. I haven't been there in a bit, but I used to get the beef w/ steamed veggies. 1 3boysmama reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
3boysmama 26 Posted August 8, 2017 I'm thinking about this, minus the mashed potatoes. And, of course, I'll only be able to eat like 3 bites 1 Pjammie12 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'll go check out their menu, as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

larta 26 Posted August 8, 2017 (edited) Applebee's has lots and lots of choices. What about their chicken salad, and your shrimp idea is a great idea. I go out to eat all the time. I travel a lot. I just eat in moderation and make as healthy choice as I can. Enjoy your meal, your friends, and whatever you do will be fine. If I could not eat out, I wouldn't be eating because I am 75% traveling. I was just sleeved 7/10/2017. I had the lap band for 6 years before that. Looked at your stats...You are doing wonderful. Keep up the great work!..I vote for the grilled shrimp!!! yum Edited August 8, 2017 by larta 2 3boysmama and CrowMilk reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
3boysmama 26 Posted August 9, 2017 I appreciate everyone's input! I did get the caprese chicken and it was wonderful. I rarely get in all my calories, so I didn't think that would be an issue. I got grilled veggies instead of mashed potatoes, but I only ate about a 1/3 of the meal, and that was over 3 hours time. I had a fabulous evening... 6 Ivy383, WhtWdUGive620, XYZXYZXYZ1955 and 3 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
