denise633 86 Posted September 4, 2013 So just because I'm 6 days post op and bored to tears I've been looking anything and everything up on the iPad......I was just looking up nutritional value for Chinese food (past fav) and it seems to be very high in Protein and if you order right not too bad with fat and calories......was wondering if someday I can eat Chinese again or is it a bad food? And how does it sit with the sleeve? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
awold0 246 Posted September 4, 2013 I am 6 weeks post op. I have had no problem with any foods.Knock on wood but I am very careful to always eat 3 the ounces and not over eat. I will say that rice is a no no. So if I was to eat out at Chinese I would have meat and a veggie. Also maybe sauce on side due to the sugar content in the sauce. Eating out is really not as hard as I thought. Ann Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Allan Cameron 98 Posted September 4, 2013 Three months post op, can't eat in large quantities like I used too, but small ammounts, eating slow, and limiting the rice, it's just fine (so far). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RJ'S/beginning 5,358 Posted September 4, 2013 I had Chinese at my daughters a few weeks ago....beef noodles....it was excellent and I had no trouble eating it that day....the next day I threw it up and could not figure why....So I decided to try again 2 nights later...Oh I was so sick..Threw up for 1 hour......Did not read the red flag...dah! And paid for it dearly.... Have not eaten it since...... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lilbearzmom 584 Posted September 4, 2013 Sure you can eat Chinese post-op. Just make sensible choices- non-breaded/fried Protein and veggies w/ sauce. Cashew chicken, chicken w/ broccoli (my personal favorite) are some examples. I would avoid rice, noodles, egg rolls- anything deep fried. Egg drop Soup would be good too. Enjoy!!!

ashelaine 383 Posted September 4, 2013 I eat it about once a month and have since 6 weeks post op- so 9 months. I have had no problems and love it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Beach Lover 1,084 Posted September 4, 2013 I see no reason why you couldn't try it. But just try one thing at a time especially if it is a new food for you. I love beef and broccoli haven't tried it yet but I think it is about time. There are plenty of dishes that you can eat without the rice and fried foods.
