Chinese Food

[ToddNYG 0]

I have now tried Chinese food twice and both time it had gotten stuck and ended up coming back up. Probably not the healthiest food choice to make but I thought I would be alright with just a small portion. Has anyone else had a problem with Chinese?

I ordered egg rolls once and egg drop Soup once. I've also tried Thai. All are too salty for me and it is by far the worst episodes of PB'ing I have ever had.

when i eat chinese food, i try to be really careful and eat some white rice, with steamed veggies....some Soup too.

I've only tried an egg roll since being banded and had no problems.

well I had chicken and brocoli and that was no good. So I figured it was the chicken so this last time I had beef and brocoli and ended up with the same result.

I was just going to say chicken and broccoli! I learned to stop when my band says stop with that meal. I could tell the chicken was gristly and not going down well, but I took the proverbial one more bite. I also had chicken and broccoli at a different Chinese restaurant and the chicken was much more tender and I didn't have a bit of problem with it.

I wish that were the case, I am not eating too much. I have literally maybe 2 or 3 bites and I feel it get stuck and then I just pace around the house until I convince myself that it's coming back up.

Mine wasn't so much that it was too much, it was poor quality meat that I couldn't chew up well enough. I learned to just say no to tough meat..lol

Have you tried papaya pills for stuck or tight food situations? I have papaya/pineapple enzymes that I bought at Trader Joe's, and they're chewables. They can be little miracle workers. Someone mentioned that they bought some at Walmart that didn't work as well as others they had bought. You can find them on line, and I would think Vitamin shops, and possibly pharmacies. They're very inexpensive, so well worth a try.

No I have not tried them. I just started shopping at Trader Joe's so I will have to keep an eye out for them thanks!

Could it be the broccoli? I love chinese food and as long as I stick the to meats, I'm okay.. but one bite of broccoli, and I get stuck.

I go to the buffet and pick out the steamed veggies and have not had a problem. Once I tried a egg roll and It rolled me into the bathroom for a pb deal and never again for that deal. veggies and hot sour Soup just a few bits though. never to much liquid. As you want this food to stay in your stomach. and the soup is like drinking. No breaded crap. no noodles stuff, no shrimp, may be some chicken if it looks fresh and not dry. No beef or pork I can't do it. Sometimes they have steamed fish I will do a little of that. Keep in mind I can't eat much. So I am done pretty much quick. The family that has the Chinese place knows me from 180lbs ago and says what not another trip to the troth. just laughs I just say it's time to get your money back. haha

I got stuck on a piece of shrimp. Sometimes that can be hard to chew.

I'm Asian and I find I have real trouble with broccolli in Chinese food. I don't eat celery either.

Rice is another thing I can't eat when it comes to Chinese food. I'm fine with Japanese rice and Arborio, but something about Jasmine or Basmati makes it hard for me to tolerate.

But there are heaps of other kinds of Chinese you should be able to eat. Avoid the chewy/fibrous stuff and you should be okay.

I know that I can't eat a lot of chicken. Rice is a no-no for me competely. I tried eating sushi rolls the other day. Nope that didn't work.
