Chinese Food



Recommended Posts

I'm eating some shrimp egg foo young today. With the gravy and eating one ounce at a time, I think the pouch will accept it. Will sprinkle some unflavored Protein Powder on it also so with the Protein from egg and shrimp and protein powder, sounds like a nice protein filled meal!!!!!

Good for you! Hope that you are doing well with your surgery. It's amazing that you are able to eat 2 weeks post op and lots of luck with that. I have to wait a while for my revision surgery and I am petrified of having it. I just do not want to give up sugar in my coffee (because I am allergic to the artificial sweetners) and the eating and drinking.

Hopefully, your acid reflux is now non existent from what I hear about this surgery! Best wishes to you always.

Stephen

I had Chinese food last night! Beef and broccoli with sauce on the side. Went down very well, and totally hit the spot! I am 4 weeks post-op. I think I'm going to eat the leftovers for lunch in a few minutes!

Egg foo young is LOADED with fat and fried in oil ... most Chinese foods are loaded with fats and oils unless you get the steamed healthy kind. I stay far, far away from Chinese way, way too many calories.

Same. I could really go for a crab Rangoon but alas, it's not good for me. Those are the kinds of foods I ate that got me to my heaviest weight. I will stay away.

I miss crab Rangoon too but it's so awful for us. Anything to avoid pain and nausea.

Yup. I did find a recipe for crab Rangoon dip that's made with light cream cheese. And you can baked the wonton skins. So it won't be as bad but definitely will be a special occasion food.

I absolutely can not tolerate any type of Chinese food and it used to be my absolute favorite. After two horrible experiences with it, I don't miss it or crave it at all.

      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.
