Eating out for the first time

Today I am going out with a friend for my birthday.  I have had problems with keeping food down in the past because of an ulcer and a stricture.  Lately in the last few weeks things are staying down for the most part.  Even though I am almost 3 mo out it is like I am new at this because of the past problems and just getting back into food and not the liquid diets.  Sooo, my question is what can I eat at say Applebees?  I am scared I will get sick and not make it to the bathroom.  Please help.

Check out the kids menu or the appetisers ... Then get a to go box .. Eat slow and take some home... Happy Birthday and Enjoy your new life..

Applebees has a weigh****cher menu and has a 4oz steak dinner I order when I go.  That may be too much for you since you've had such a problem with foods.  How are the denser foods working for you?  Be sure to get a To-Go box.... and chew chew chew VERY well....

Ask to be seated back of the restaurant by the bathrooms.  That may help alleviate the fear you won't make it. 

Hi Jimi,
I would try soup.  Since we eat slow anyways, it will last you thru your friend's meal.  I think I did french onion and left the croutons.  It seems pretty safe.  And you get to socialize with your friend to boot.

have fun.

Hey

I just ate at Applebee's this weekend for my daughter's B-day and last week for a work luncheon.   I totally agree with BM.....Both times, I ordered the French Onion soup and just left the crouton in the bowl.  

I'd be careful with the apetizer menu....most everything is greasy and/or deep fried.  I tried a bite of some boneless chicken wings....not a smart move!

Maybe this post is to late b/c I just realize you say you are going out today....hope you had a good time!
