What dim-sum could you eat at one month?



Recommended Posts

My hubbie and I have been asked to join a couple tonight for dim-sum. I have never had dim-sum, sounds like fun, but I am a bit at a loss as to what I will be able to eat. I am about 1 month out - eating soft foods - but not beef, pork, fried, rice, pasta..... You know what you eat at about a month. Any recommendations on what I might be able to order, sleevers? Thanks for helping me be prepared as I head out tonight!

I had to look up through Google exactly what all Dim Sum included. If you're on the soft stage, could you order some of the Soups? I see a lot of seafood so maybe you could order a soft, white fish menu option.

It looks pretty interesting, and kind of reminds of a Cantonese/Chinese version of a Tapas Restaraunt. It's a bunch of different small portions.

Have fun and let us know how it goes.

Hey girl! I love, love, love dim sum! I think Tiff is right, Soup is gonna be your best bet. You could try a steamed dumpling, but you would be having a bit of Pasta that way. I won't lie, I had one in week five (without the doughy ends of the Pasta, just the meat in the middle and a slight bit around the middle) because that was the day I tossed my Cookies, and I felt week, and China was the next stop at Epcot. ;-)

You could always have the dumplings without the pasta at all. Still yummy and quite tender.

Have fun! Having japanese tonight, myself. Tomorrow is six week check up with Dr. Nick!

You guys rock. Egg drop Soup and dumplings sound like a go for me. At least I have a bit of power going into the new situation. It makes me feel so much better if I have bit of a "plan."

At 1 month after my surgery I was allowed to go to regular diet foods, but I still had to be selective and had to chew, chew and chew my foods, because I did not want to do anything to my stomach staples. I am almost at 2 months now and I eat nuts, meat and other things that require lots of chewing. If I eat too fast, I find that my food does not digest very well.

While I was on soft foods from week 2-4, I did eat some things that were not as soft as they should have been, but I chewed them up very good and ate them very slowly. I hope all went well with the dim-sum.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
