Out to Dinner

So, I forgot to mention one thing in my other blog--my first dinner out last night post surgery! I really wanted to "go out" and get something to eat. We decided on Ruby Tuesdays, so Chris could get the salad bar, and I would get the Ruby Minis--little tiny burgers. The only hard part was that since Chris had the salad bar right away and I had to wait for my food, we both ended up watching the other person eat. I think next time I'd like for him to wait until I get my food, and then we can eat together. When the burgers arrived, I removed the buns, and just had the meat. I ended up eating about half of each one, about the equivalent of 3 oz. of meat. I kept picking and choosing the bites that had the best cheese. :) While I was eating those, I also had about 5 or 6 fries. They were like the thinness of McDonald's fries. The server seemed a little surprised that I didn't order a drink, and when she came by that I had eaten so little, but she didn't say anything about it.

I chewed very well, and really focused on taking my time and listening to my body, so I wouldn't feel sick. Eventually I stopped eating. I wasn't ever full, but I was so afraid to push it that I stopped anyway.

I'm so glad my first experience out was a good one, and of course we loved the fact that our dinner was around $15.00! :)
