My 10 yr wedding anniversary

Ok so today is our anni and i want to go out to eat to celebrate.  My options are full salad bar and mexican food.  I'm on soft proteins right now.  So mexican food would mean just beans, how romantic in bed tonight.  salad bar would be just tuna, cheese, maybe a little potato salad, turkey cubes.  What do ya'll think?

I'd go with the salad bar myself, but have some ideas besides beans for the Mexican if you are leaning that way.

Maybe you could get some chicken thigh meat at the Mexican restaurant - most of the chicken dishes I've had seem to use the moister dark meat. I've also seen a soft cheese in the "Mexican" section of the grocery - it's sort of like ricotta. You could phone ahead and ask if you can have small portions of  "ingredients" instead of a standard dish.

Edited to add: LOL - why am I telling you about mex food - you probably have more in Texas than we do in Oregon. My excuse is I'm not awake yet....

Congratulations!

How about Abondigas soup? I order that whenever we go out for Mexican.

Happy anniversary!  i'd say no to the potato salad though!  have a great time, lys

On soft proteins you couldn't go with something like a cheese enchilada?  I don't know - my surgery center was pretty liberal on carb consumption and my pouch doesn't mind them either.  Some people are also personally against carb consumption too, so that probably leaves that out.

Anyway, in your case I would go with the salad bar - I often choose the salad bar over anything else anyway because the moisture in the lettuce allows me to eat more protein and I can't supplement my protein.  The only problem is that turkey chunks and other "deli" meats seem to contain a lot of fillers so the protein content is pretty low.  Even at the salad bar I would try to choose the tuna and chicken if you're allowed to have it.

Enjoy your anniversary. :)

thanks for all your input!  i'll probably go for the salad bar but i'm still eating really tiny amounts, no veggies yet.  tuna here i come.
