I had my surgery on Oct 13, 2014 and I have always been a fan of Chinese what is something that I can eat from the Chinese place? HELPPPPPPPPPPPPPP

I ate the egg drop Soup, hot-n-sour soup and chicken veg soup....so I'd say soup! : ) if you want actual food maybe a small serving of beef and broccoli?

I had Soup without problem. I would stick with something with a soft, not deep fried Protein. I know several chicken dishes fit in that category.

@@Elode I am so over Soup lol but I never was fan of Beef at all my job orders Chinese once a week and idk what I can eat

[Elode 8,093]

Oh! Well.....Chinese is hard! It's my favorite BUT the good stuff is always fried, or full of sugar! The only other thing I can think of is we have chicken on a stick...marinaded chicken...on a stick lol! Or Moogoogiapan? Oh or a seafood dish!

Do you eat shrimp? The dishes that have a sauce and fried shrimp you can request the sauce on the side and just have them steam the shrimp )if you can have that) I am pre op still but that's something I did when I was dieting. Shrimp and broccoli sauce on the side nor general tso's shrimp with steamed shrimp and sauce on the side.

Anything stir fried, light on the oil, no rice, light on the sauce will work. Tastes better, too.

Moo goo gai pan (chicken with vegetables in a white sauce) works for me too. And no rice, noodles, dumplings, spring/egg rolls, or fortune Cookies. (They're usually stale, anyway, right?)

I'd pick the meat out of whatever non-fried variety sounds good starting with chicken or fish early on. Avoid rice until you're a little further along. Rice can be hard. Took me a while to tolerate rice again at all and it's still not a fav. Lettuce wraps are great too if you're doing Thai.
