I am new to posting... I have been lurking for awhile now I had my band done the day before Thanksgiving. I am leaving for a two week work trip to China on 01/05... I am not nervous about traveling. I am nervous on what I am going to eat. Per my surgeons instructions, I can not introduce vegetables until week 9 (I will only be in week 6/7 when I leave) and to complicate things more - I am a vegetarian. So basically I have been only living on eggs and cheese the past month. I know this is a tough question - but has anyone else faced anything like this? Not that it matters but I should probably say I am not a vegetarian for ethical or religious reasons, I used to get really sick from eating meat. My body did not process it well.
If anyone has ever been to Shanghai - it is not easy to communicate if you don't speak Mandarin. The menus at restaurants basically have pictures with a brief description or word (if that) and you point. So saying I want two scrambled eggs.... not really an option. And it is a 14 hour flight for me so bringing a lot of food is also not an option.
Any suggestions?? Anything would be appreciated!!!
Thanks,
