need some help!!!

thinking of planning a nice dinner for me and my wife for valentines day. usually i would take her out but since i am only 1 week into regular foods im not comfortable enough to eat in a resturant. i was hoping i could get a good idea for dinner

i can only eat soft meats right now so I stick to a lot of fish or seafood...

Ginger poached fish is really good if you like fish easy to make

chicken broth
any type of white fish fillets
ginger
garlic
cilantro
green onion
sugar to taste

bring all ingredients execpt fish to a boil reduce heat and add fish...poach until fish flakes with a fork remove fish keep warm and reduce sauce to half

Serve with brown rice. and a veggie

 You can still go out to dinner, just have good planning:

- pick someplace that offers a lot of different things, so you both can find something to eat. 
- make a mental note of where the bathroom is, just in case.
- follow the basic rules: eat SLOWLY, SMALL bites, chew thoroughly.
- put your fork down between bites and pause before attempting another one. It's possible that you'll feel full after only a couple of bites.

Another alternative is to order from your favorite place, but get it to go and take it home. You can still enjoy a nice meal, still be doing something nice for your wife, and yet worry less.

This is so true...I will be going out to dinner with my husband tonight and know that it's a place that serves pasta which i can not tolerate so I will do some research before we go and see what I can eat...I've been there before so I know where the Bathroom is...I just had a fill so I need to slow down chew chew chew and just becareful.

 I know - I posted suggestions to you as well. Oh! Forgot one: eggplant parm! Soft and squishy@

As unromantic as they may be, I love diners because they offer so damned many options. Soft scrambled eggs for me, reuben deluxe for hubby.

How sweet of you to be thinking of her and wanting to make it special.   No matter what you serve throw some candles on the table and set it as nice as you can and it will be special to her.
One of my favs is a pot roast.   Put it in the crock pot with some onions, carrots and potato.  It will be nice and moist for you and you can eat the meat and veggies.  Place a can of creamed soup in it and you have your gravy.  Did I mention candles????

I had a lap band for foreverbefore I got switched to DS and the HARDEST thing for me while out at a restaurant was not drinking while eating... I don't know if this is an issue for you as well.  I think the idea of bringing everything home is a good one... set up a little carpet picnic in front of the fire or T.V. depending what you like and enjoy!

Good luck! and have a wonderful valentines day!
