Eating out

My job gave us a Panera gift card for job appreciation. I'm at 6 weeks from surgery date not sure about using the gift card. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance

I usually get Soup if I eat at Panera. I really liked the turkey chili. Here’s a link to their nutritional information

Look for something that makes good leftovers too. I had to go out for pizza with co-workers and just ordered a side of meatballs. For some reason, the side was 12 meatballs and sauce; it took me 3 days to finish them off between lunches and dinners! I wouldn't get a sandwich or anything since they typically don't hold up well. I think the turkey chili suggestion is a good one. Otherwise, you could always hold onto the gift card until you're eating a wider variety of food.

I was going to suggest the turkey chili as well. It usually comes out right around this time of year.

The turkey chili is so good! ❤️

I like the Tomato Soup at Panera and ate that pretty early on. Also, the chicken tortilla Soup is good.

I would either hold the card for a little while more, or get a variety of Soups and freeze them until you feel ready. I'm close behind you (5 weeks PO) and my tummy would not be up to any Panera food just yet.

Soups is a good idea. Or just a wholE lotta coffees? Lol

..or maybe a nice gift to someone else?

I was going to say treat yourself to something…a mani pedi or a cute new outfit and give the gift card to someone else.

Amazon has cards to show waiter so you can get kids meals, but you'll still have leftovers at home.

I have not tried to eat out yet but the Soups seems like an easy way to order something without fear of problems. I think a piece of fish like cod or flounder is a pretty good bet too since it is so soft and stays pretty moist after cooking.
