....it becomes a support group meeting!!!

Ginger and I each drove about an hour and met half way at a Ruby Tuesday for a GREAT lunch!  It is so important to have face to face support.   Thanks Ginger!!!

PS I had New Orleans Seafood (SO GOOD) (3 carbs) and broiled zuchini (4).  I tried mashed cauliflower..blech.

What? No cheese in that mashed cauliflower? lol I think that would make it tolerable.

I hope I will find someone to meet for a DS lunch support group meeting.

I live about two or three blocks from GHP. Maybe we can meet for lunch sometime. After I'm done with liquids and soft foods, that is. LOL. I don't want to ask a restaurant to puree my meal.

That would be cool! Except I will be having surgery a few weeks after you, so we will have to make sure both of us are on a regular diet when we do meet for lunch ;)

Good luck with surgery tomorrow and a speedy recovery too!

I was expecting something like - we went to a Churrascaria and ate for 4 hours. Or perhaps - we got the all you can eat crab legs, polished off 3 pounds crab and 5 pounds butter each...
Damn, now I want crab!
Glad you had a good time. What is the New Orleans seafood exactly?

We didn't have many options as to places to eat!! 

The NO seafood at Ruby Tuesday's is grilled tilapia with spicy seasoning with a cheese sauce and shimp topping.

They have a LOT of different sides to choose from.   Their website lists the nutrition facts for everything which is helpful.

YES, we had a great time !  Restaurant choices around us sort of stink though. I thought the mashed cauliflower was okay, not wonderful, but ate about half. I also had ribs. Should of gotten rubbed instead of BBQ, but BBQ sounded good to me at the time.

Something did not like me and I had horrid bloating and gas all the way home, was VERY thankful to find the one gas station with a potty as well ! ... I am sure Becky was happy to go in the opposite direction ! LOL 

I felt so blah in the evening... I only drank 2 double protein shakes for dinner later stretch over a couple of hours.

Go figure this a.m. I am down another pound. Makes no sense with what I ate yesterday !  But I will take every pound I get off ! We will definitely have to try to do this every 4-6 weeks on a regular basis.. Was wonderful !

Glad you  had a nice time and the seafood sounds nice, might try that the nex time we go near a Ruby Tuesday .  The name always makes me laugh as we named our dog Ruby and she gets called ruby tuesday all the time lol
