According to my fitness pal, half an egg foo yung patty-with shrimp is 157 calories -the gravy is usually a broth thickened with cornstarch. Fat grams for half a patty is 12-

I can't eat Chinese food at all. I try lo mein & Soup & beef & shrimp with broccoli I vomit with everything. I used to love it & now it's my enemy.

Hey Miami,

Try sautéed items, not items with noodles or rice.

I just had Chinese today. I'm 2 weeks out & successfully had 1/4 cup of hot & sour Soup. I brought the remaining bowl home which will give me 3 more servings. YUMMY!

Chinese food is a no-no for me unless the veggies are steamed. All the other non-steamed dishes like egg-fo0 young are extremely high in fat . . . basically the egg-foo is eggs fried in oil loaded with very greasy gravy... which should be avoided at all costs no matter what !!!! Stick to the steamed dishes and order the sauce on the side with no oil.

Thank u so much for letting me know!

      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.
