Lots of people say they are tired for a couple months. Keeps doing what you're doing! 

I eat whatever when I'm out. Innards of a taco from Taco Bell (chicken) or qdoba, grilled fish, steak or chicken at a sit down restaurant. Oh and grilled nuggets from chick fila! I haven't had any true salad because I've got no room for that and to get my protein in. However, I have a few bites of tomato, zucchini, cucumber several times a week.

I wouldn't. Avoid carbs.

I don't think I started eating salads until I was five or six months out.  The lettuce bothered my stomach before that.

Tortillas have a lot of carbs.  I usually skip them (and just eat the innards), but I've had one or two tortillas since my surgery 14 months ago.

Besides Wendy's chili, I get Taco Bell's Pintos and Cheese.  Sometimes I will ask them to add taco meat to it. 

McDonald's scrambled eggs or a sausage & cheese breakfast buritto...I don't eat the tortilla.  

Boston Chicken...baked chicken breast and broccoli.  

Chik-Fil-A...grilled chicken nuggets and a side salad.  

Ruby Tuesday...roasted spaghetti squa**** comes plain (bland) so I take a small container of marinara sauce from home to put on it.

Any pizza place...get an individual pizza of my choice but scrape off and eat just the toppings.

Cafeteria food...either a slice of roast beef, or a baked chicken breast, or baked talapia, along with green beans, or broccoli, or asparagus.

Mexican Restaurant...Chicken fajitas with refried beans, pico, and guac...NEVER rice, or chips, or tortillas.

Shrimp ****tail with a side of steamed veggies (never corn or peas).

This gives you an idea of the foods I eat when I go out to eat.  If unsure of how something is cooked or the ingredients, I always ask questions.

Thanks for listing these foods Iking.  It is very helpful to get information from others who have been there, so I will know later on what I should be doing or what foods I should probably avoid.

I like cracker barrel kids meal grilled chicken tenders and green beans. I drink unsweetened tea until my meal comes(all under $5!)

Wendy's grilled  chicken breast is great

Jimmy johns unwich with no mayo and no cheese is awesome 

I have never been a salad eater

Yes on the salad ! I have no problem with them for a while now and my surgery was May 3. I don't recall being tired quite as long as you but everyone's different. Cranky? YES sometimes I hear myself and I don't like me , hope that passes. We eat out a lot lately due to travel here are some favorites that have not given me trouble

red lobster- salmon and salad or shrimp

****tail if I've eaten to many calories for the day (it's only  100

calories ) 

hamburger joints- chicken sandwich no bun wrapped in lettuce

Taco Bell - steak power bowl with no rice 

breakfast places - meat and cheese biscuit take away biscuit 

steak houses- filet and shrimp
