Post Op Dinner Out Successful

I went to a holiday party at a restaurant last night. First time eating out since surgery. I'm 7 weeks post-op. I almost didn't go since I didn't want to deal with eating 1 oz of protein and not even be able to drink water with it... But since I had been craving shrimp I looked  up the menu online beforehand and realized they had a shrimp scampi appetizer I could order.  In the end I had 3 pieces of the most wonderful shrimp ever and I have enough leftovers for 2 more meals.  It was only a little hard to make sure I didn't overeat. In the end it was nice being out, not feeling deprived at all, and proving to myself I could go out to eat as long as I was prepared beforehand for good choices. 

That is awsome! Such a great NSV. I'm still pre-op and this gives me a lot of encouragement. Congrats!

Great job! I went out for my first breakfast this morning and it went well. I think you're planning ahead of time was key. Congrats! I know my success this morning (I'm five weeks and three days out) has given me confidence about future dining out experiences!

Great job!

When possible I like to look at the menu online before going to a place. It sure helps me take my time and plan my meal so I am not stressed in the restaurant and make poor choices.  Shrimp is so good!!!!
