Restaurant help!

Hi,

I think you'll find restaurants are no problem.  My first meal out was about 3 weeks post surgery, and I ordered a sea scallop appetizer and it worked out just fine.  I often order fish, or grilled chicken in various sauces and preps. I only eat a fraction of it, and take the left-overs home,

 I think you'll do just fine.   Enjoy your weekend.

So, you'll be six weeks out? I think I was in puree foods at that time.

Honestly? I'd stick with a broth based soup because the last time you want to do is eat something new and have it not sit well and be miserable during the concert. Just my 2 cents. I'd def not do su****hat just sounds rough if it doesn't go well. LOL!

Honestly, I was reading through all the posts and thought - good comments.  But, the one about trying to stick with something simple like a broth soup sounds the safest to me.  I would not want to be out of town hoping to have a good time and feel miserable. I don't think you can go wrong with a broiled fish also.

If you're already on solids, then yay!  But yourr sleeve isn't mature yet, so take it easy.  

Personally, I like ordering an appetizer as my entree- if they have something like yakitori or satay (chicken on a stick!), it's about right, and a low enough price point that I can eat what's comfortable and leave the rest there without feeling terribly wasteful.

Have a blast!  I they were just here in Chicago, and some friends said it was a really fun show.  Maybe stash a protein bar in your purse in case you get tangled in crowd traffic, and water, water, water - a huge crowd gets hot and stressful.

Thanks so much for taking the time to respond! Am I ok to eat protein bars right now? I was sleeved a little over a month ago 

Come to think of it, they still sit funny with me 10 months post-surgery sometimes.  Maybe a protein shake would be a better idea :)  

Just gotta add my input. I love me some JT!!! I have since I was 15! Now I am 31! Next month my best friend from high school and I are meeting in Miami ( she lives in Cali and I now live in Ohio) for the JT and Jay Z concert!!!! Have a blast!!!!
