Chinese Food

[billyvmom 128]

Am dying for a dumpling and crab Rangoon talk me off the ledge about to spend big $$$ on food and throw it in the blender... Drinking Protein Shake now and all I can think about is Chinese.... Almost wish I felt like crap then I wouldn't care.

You can have Chinese food later and besides, it won't taste the way that your thinking it will taste. LOL Think of all the $$$ we are saving in not eating all the expensive foods now.

I know the feeling. I'm 8 months post op and I've been craving some Chinese food. For me the reason I don't have any is the sodium. I don't want to retain Water and I will. So I refrain. lol

You can do it.

Depending what stage your in you can have egg drop Soup. I personally don't tolerate Chinese food to well, I've had better luck with Thai food, it's less greasy and they put more veggies.

Perhaps after you reach your goals, you can treat yourself and ask the restaurant to go easy on the oil, and eliminate the salt....since they make it fresh. Don't do it now, while you are reaching your goals. It will just slow you up...and no one want that.

I, too, wish for some food...I really do, but I'm not allowed food, yet, and when I am, I have to be careful...I really want to stick to the Protein shakes and get all the weight off before eating foods.

I wonder if just a bite would fill you up, as so many people say on here, that once you eat actual food...you cannot eat as much as you can drink of a Protein shake.

You can have it when you get to the solid food stage. The liquid and puree stages don't ast long- that part will be over before you know it.

I still enjoy all my favorite foods. Everything tastes just as good for me; just TINY PORTIONS. I had a delicious 2oz Porterhouse last night and Pinot Noir too. Still losing weight well, and I've always exercised regularly. My sleeve is a dream come true. I never thought I could eat this little.
