I had shrimp eleven days post-op and had absolutely no issues. I bought some at Wholefoods, cooked 3-4 of them in a small saute' pan with olive oil, salt, pepper, a squeeze of lemon and fresh parsley on top. Sometimes I would cut them up, other times I just took small bites until I was full. I have shrimp at least twice a week. I make a homemade cocktail sauce and it is always satisfying.

I would not eat the Wontons as they are basically steamed carbs. You can chew, chew, chew and like bread they will fill your pouch up with no nutritional value. I have had egg drop Soup and hot and sour soup. Both gave me no problems.

Or wonton Soup with the wontons...reason I ask we're going to a Chinese restaurant tonight for my brothers bday and have no idea what to eat or not to eat at all!!

The biggest issue with Chinese food is the ingredients they use to make the food so yummy. Most of it is cooked with some sort of sugar, usually palm and the sauces are loaded with calories. I haven't tempted Chinese food yet as I would only eat it at home and have not had that chance.

I'd hate to be out and have a bad reaction to something. Ya know?

I would avoid the wonton wrappers... my NUT said no Pasta for at least 6 months. I bet the wonton meat filling would be ok and of course the broth.

Hot and Sour Soup is one of my favorites - lots of Protein with the chicken and egg and tofu - very satisfying and flavorful.

      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.
