Tried Pf Changs Today For The 1St Time And Didn't Go So Well



Recommended Posts

Probably didn't choose the right thing to eat but my mom was with me and we shared Chang's spicy chicken and veggie fried rice, lots of food I might add but anyway, I cut my chicken to tee tiny bites, and then had some rice, well I guess the rice swelled and I got stuck, had to make a run to the restroom and started PB'ing, of all things. I was so disappointed too, it used to be my fav place. Wondering now if lettuce wraps would have been a better choice. idk... It was really cold in Nashville today to maybe the weather played a part in my band, who knows, well not cold cold but the weather had turned off colder and the wind was up which made it feel really cold. Does the weather affect our bands? For instance winter weather? I never noticed last winter but I was only 6 months out then and not very much in my band then.

I can do some rice sometimes , mostly th I am not able to do rice as it does get me stuck or makes e swell real bad so I try to stay away from rice , it's funny I can eat the zataran's jambalya mix rice , but I can not do any other, so I choose to ask at resturaunts or even at friends , family or even my own house l choose to do more bean or veggies instead.

Rice has been on my "Do not eat list" from very early on....and as far as chicken, I have found, can be very tough, hard when eating out...a place like Chang's moves a lot of chicken so I would suspect it would be Ok, but I do not trust it at most places....

I had home made jambalya, lastnight, and the rice was okay for me. And I bet you will have to wear mote clothes this winter than lst! I did, cold hits hard after being a bigger person and losing your extra "coat". :D

oh about more clothes, you have no idea, i'm so cold natured now its awful, lol. I usually can eat chicken of some sort and be ok with it so I guess it was the rice that didn't agree with me. It was a strange feeling, unlike other times when I've gotten stuck.

Fried foods and Rice are not my friend anymore and I love it. So I push the envelope and eat it thinking maybe I have outgrown it not being able to tolerate it. Bad move every time!!

Donna...nice to see you!!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

    • buildabetteranna

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
