Has any one tried chinese food? I have been craving it now for a couple of weeks, but i'm not sure it's doable and if it is what to get. I'm sure the Sweet and Sour items are out. I'm 14 weeks out from my surgery. If any one has any ideas I would appreciate it.

I've eaten it on several occasions. Just really small portions compared to before surgery.

Rice doesn't work for me well, even now. Some can eat raw fish, some get sick with the shortened intestines. I can do a few pieces of sashimi with only one piece of a roll that has rice.

Idk how far out you are but I'm almost 4 months and rice is still a no go. It makes me so sick. Id say stick with sashimi... Something mild.

Rice is full of carbs. We have a saying at group support it goes ( if it's white it's not right) white bread, white rice, potatos, Pasta. All bad for you to many carbs and your body will stop breaking down Fat and just work on breaking down carbs that take so much longer to break down. It's better to work on getting in Protein and veggies.

As for Chinese I love it and have had it 1 time since surgery 13 weeks ago it was fabulous all 2 oz of it. The only bad part was it was so sweet it raised my blood sugars really high

It sits in the stomach and doesnt pass well. Feels like a rock- and will even swell if you add Fluid.

      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.
