Would love to taste some chineese food again, but I do NOT plan on trying that one for a long while. there is so much different seasonings used and alot of MSG. so for me it would be a huge NONO...plus you would only be able to have like I piece of meat and some veggies so unless you made it at home not worth the money

Hi all. You might try your beloved Chinese food again at a later date. Seems some people have a problem with one kind of food or another in the first few months but at a later time are able to tolerate better. Just a thought.

What exactly are you trying to eat? Rice & Noodles aren't going to go down for a while, and even then you won't be able to eat much.

I love me some Egg Drop Soup even now... it is chinese food ;)

Well, I know it's debatable if Panda Express is "real chinese" food as some say, but if you have one in your area, let me tell you....I treat myself to the steamed rice, mixed veggies, Teriyaki chicken (soooo tender & good), & orange chicken. I have no issues. My surg was 3/6/13. I chew well & take my time. I eat it for like three meals. try it again in even smaller quantities & maybe try another place. What I live by is that I WILL have anything in moderation. I want to enjoy life & food like I used to BUT, BUT, BUT....not abuse it like I used to. I do shy away from fried foods, but eventually, I will def try fried chicken, lol!

I've only had Chinese once since surgery. I got sick and vomited shortly after, so I haven't tried it again. I do sometimes buy frozen Chinese egg rolls and microwave them. I only eat the filling. It's pretty high in Protein and low in calories and it satisfies my Chinese cravings.

I'm thinking that when I get a few months out I'll dive into mu shu pork or chicken without the pancakes. It sounds good right now, in fact, but I'm midway through my preop diet and starving today for some reason.

I haven't tried (real) Chinese rice for thinking that I could be too greasy? I have done Panda Express serval times meat only.

I have not tried Chinese food since my surgery on 4/9/13. For me its not a big deal as I have never really been a big fan of it. My husband however LOVES Chinese food so we made an agreement that as long as I lost 60 pounds (random number I made up) we could try it 6 months after my surgery. It's good to know that other people have tried it and tolerated it well :)

Try making homemade stir fry sans rice or noodles. It allows you more flexibility and ends up being healthier.

      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.

      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.
