Restaurant Choices! Good options for post-WLS

My husband likes to go out to eat often.  I am the worst person to take out to eat.  I never could make up my mind on what I wanted to eat before surgery.  Now that I have no real drive for any specific foods its worst.  Having to relearn what you can eat at each place has been a challenge.  I will start a list of good choices I have found as I discover them.

McDonalds - 

Bacon Egg Cheese Biscuit - Hold the Biscuit

I ordered this and got 3 meals out of it.  It was oh so good.  (I order this in another city and was highly disappointed.  They charged me 2 dollars less than if I had ordered a whole 4 course meal and the portion was small enough that I ate the entire meal with no issue.   ~Note to self: Always verify the final price of adjusted meal, regardless if their other chains take good care of me~)
