Just ate some from my local Chinese place. I ordered it vegetarian w/ a little extra egg for Protein. Seemed I could eat quite a bit (maybe 3/4 cup) & I don't feel like I'm going to throw up, which is RARE for me!! So, experts chime in here.......CONS???

If there aren't any than I highly recommend it :)

I regularly eat the packaged hot and sour egg drop Soup. The Soup itself is 60 calories per 2 cups and then add in the egg. I slowly drink about 1 cup. It's high in sodium, but it is a welcome warmth.

You have to watch the restaurants though. With out labels you really don't know what you're getting. It's probably fine. It will go right through you of course, but it always satisfies me for a long time.

I went to a chinese buffet yesterday with my granddaughter. She ate from the buffet, I ordered a carry-out box, same price. My wife has a roux n y and we got 6 meals out of that one box. Not bad for $6.95. :)

I ate egg drop Soup for my first phase, was a big help. My first encounter with hot and sour was not pleasant. I think it was a combination of me eating too fast and the spiciness, it came back up. Could have been too early, too.

I love the chinese vegetables if I know I have my daily Protein covered. Some of the breaded, sauced up meat is a bit chewy, I have to eat them slow.

LOVE hot & sour soup! I couldn't tolerate it early on (too spicy) but now my sleeve loves it. I usually get chicken/snow peas/mushrooms and hot & sour Soup when I get Chinese - it lasts me at least 3-4 meals. :)

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
