Chinese food/Sushi

[LizLemon 0]

Hello,

I am one month post op and have just had my first fill. I have been craving Chinese food and Sushi but I'm not sure about what I can have. Does anyone have suggestions as to what foods are okay to eat? Please also share some of your favorite post op food options?

Eat sashimi. It's just the raw fish and if you cut the sliced fish into small pieces, you should be fine. For Chinese food, stay away from anything fried. I find that steamed fish is very band friendly. Just remember that both Chinese and some of the Japanese food is fairly high in sodium.

No sushi...I cannot tolerate rice....

Chinese and Thai take-out is a favorite food for me...although I stopped eating meat, and breaded and fried things such as general tso's chicken are not very band friendly for me...too hard and rough.

Low mein and similar are out because I cannot tolerate the noodles - (pasta)

But there is a lot of chicken, fish and vegetarian choices....What I do bring home, I will dissect and pick out the things I can eat, mix it with 1 spoonful of rice, (can hardly tell it's there) and wind up throwing 50% of it away..and with that I am still unable to finish it and save it for the next day.

I also like Chow mein, because that is green vegetables and cooked soft. again no rice.

And I usually get a Soup, but that goes in the fridge for later.

You are one month post-op, and although it's good to hear what other people can or cannot eat, everyone is a little different because everyone's band is adjusted differently. There is much I could eat when I was one month out, than what I can eat today...it's a learning curve people have to discover for themselves, unfortunately through some stuck episodes...

I think I know where I'm stopping on the way home from work tonight.
