Date tonight-Help with food please

Okay 1st sorry for not being around, i will play catch up later all. I've been busy as heck. Now quick problem/question. after months off the dating scene I finally got up the guts to re-enter, and I have one tonight. Anyways the gentleman suggested a veggie pizza for dinner, problem 1) i can't eat pizza, the breading is too much and 2) obviously need protien (that i can get around by eating 1st or later) but i found myself struggling to explain why i dont eat pizza, and since its a 1st date really dont want to reveal yet about my surgery. I'm sure this issue will come up again as I start to brave the world of dating. Please someone tell me how to handle these situations, i feel tottally stuck tonight. thanks giovanna 250/185/130

how about just eating the topping off of the pizza and if he asks, just tell him your watching your starches/breads, it wouldnt be a lie..lol Other than have fun!!!!

lol, thats what i do at home, would rather not on a date but if all eles fails thanks Lora

I hear ya there. How about trying a salad or maybe soup if they have it where you are going. I'm not really sure as I'm only a week out and am only on the full liquids.. but veggie pizza sounds sooooo good, my choices are soo limited..lol

I am very selective who I tell about my surgery. Most boys don't find out. But when we are discussing dinner plans and I am asked about my food preferences, I ALWAYS say that I avoid pizza (dough - yuck) and chinese (rice - yuck - even after 18 months, I still can only tolerate a very small amount). Boys don't usually ask why. If they did, I'd say that I am an Atkins chick. Its kinda true....

Thank you, that seems like a very viable excuse, my date tonight is very much into health. All i can say is this is going to be interesting...not sure im ready for this again but oh well, here I go anyways lol.
