I'm 6 weeks out and I had the worst craving for wonton Soup and I haven't had cravings at all, this would be my first... So is wonton soup not a good choice so soon after the surgery?

A wonton wrapper is made of bleached flour..... I would say maybe drink the broth but no wontons :-/

I usually ask the server to hold the wontons and just bring the broth. I'm 2 1/2 years out, so I could eat the wonton, but then I don't have enough room for any of my entrée, and the broth satisfies my craving for the wonton Soup.

@luv2plum : I was in Google looking for gastric friendly restaurants and coincidently "Panda Express" showed up, apparently they carry several items that are low carb, high Protein, I also am learning to stir fry and use my new Wok, after doing research u found it is a healthy way to cook and u can omit negative items like corn starch, sugar, and not sacrifice taste, last night was my first attempt at Stir Fry Cashew chicken and it was awesome , surprisingly it is very simple ingredients and only took 15 min between prep and cooking, I also made enough for 3 servings since my wife is very healthy and wanted some, and had 1 serving left for today post-254362-14364469949885_thumb.jpg

Lol it's not that easy, you have to be very careful and learn to identify nutritional amounts in items, and try to memorize in what amounts, this is where my wife comes in, she's a genius in math, you need a good kitchen scale (Walmart $10.00) and measuring tools ( cups, scoops etc..), and make Google and Siri your friend, the drawback is that you can't have things like Sweet and Sour, and breaded stuff, but good luck......

I had wonton Soup in my clear liquid phase.... but without eating the wontons, of course.

These diets we go home with from our NUTS are guides but not etched in stone, it is intended for people who have no idea what liquid, puréed, soft really is, but once we get the hang of it we need to think outside the box, just in Fluid alone I have over 9 choices of what I can drink and the worse one only has 1g of carbs, and none are sort drinks, if your gonna make a life changing commitment then you need to have a great inventory to work from, good luck all

Olive oil

6-8 med shrimp

1/8 cup chopped green onion

1/8 cup chopped carrots

1/8 cup mushrooms

1/3 cup bell pepper( you can use red or yellow)

Pinch of salt

Pinch of pepper

1/2 finely minced garlic clove

1/4 tbs chili powder

      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.
