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!!

      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.
