Husband wants to take me out to dinner -- HELP!

Also, don't be too dismayed, if you up a pound or two the following day from the extra sodium that is added to restaurant food. It can be an eye opener.

My first time eating out post VSG hubby and I went to Chili's and shared a platter of chicken fajita's which worked out great. I just ate a few chicken strips and veggie strips, sprinkled them lightly w/ the cheese and a smidge of guacamole. I didn't use the tortilla shells or any of the other fixings - left that for hubby. And we had leftovers which made several more meals for me which were equally yummy reheated!

I usually order appetizer's that's more then enough food normally I end up taking it home. I also order from the kid's menu if allowed.

A cup of chili is always a good fallback.

I ate off his plate first time out and we ordered an appetizer. The second time I ordered a grilled chicken sandwich with sauce on the side, when i got it I took off the bread and cut up the chicken with the tomatoe and lettuce and dipped it a little in the sauce.  another time I went to a Tia place and ordered fish dish with sauce on the side, no noodles or rice only veggies. All turned out good and I took home 75% of my own meals. you can order anything and have them adjust it to what you like. Dont worry most places are happy to do what the customer likes.  

Soup of the day is still my go to.......

I had the most delicious potato blue cheese soup man it was fabulous, and even my dinner out wasnt centered about cramming all my food in, I really had an enjoyable outing with my hubby.

Dont you all think it is great that our lives dont always center around food now I love it!!
