pookybear 284 Posted April 18, 2013 I miss kielbasa, spaghetti and meatballs (or meat sauce), salad, Pasta salad (I'm a carb addict), solid chicken, steak, French fries, fish and chips, Chinese food.... I know I'll never have some of these again, but if anyone has ideas on what is OK to get for Chinese, or other ideas, I'd gladly welcome them! 1 Foranewme reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hollyparks 58 Posted April 18, 2013 Lets add fried chicken and bleu cheese to your list. And bacon. And salami. And tostito restaurant chips. Ughhh, I want it bad. But I'm ok without it! I'm excited to live without it. Chinese... I feel like beef or chicken with broccoli would be good. Or some type of stir fry? I'd ask them to go light on soy since that's a ton of salt.

I've had a couple small bites of it but not much, greasy things make The Man In The Pouch kinda angry. As for fast food, the only thing I really miss is KFC's chicken bowl and biscuits. Ohhh, biscuits.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hollyparks 58 Posted April 18, 2013 http://www.livestrong.com/thedailyplate/nutrition-calories/food/generic/chinese-food-beef-and-broccoli/ I feel like there may be too much fat. But, also can't really eat a whole cup either. Looks like you're in the clear to me! How far out are you? I'm still stage 3 mush so nothing crunchy here. I have cheated and had a couple bites of tuna the other day and it sat good with me. And i tried really thin turkey breast. But thats not supposed to start until Monday.

Kellyk2511 282 Posted April 18, 2013 I just had Chinese the other night. Obviously no rice, but I had shrimp & lobster sauce (it also has chunks of steak in it). I looked up the stats on it first and it was low carb, high Protein, and delicious. Believe it or not, I'm not missing a whole lot of food. Stuff just doesn't sound good to me anymore. BUT I think I could trade one of my arms for a good pop. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
