Chinese Food

[ella37 455]

I had beef & broccoli a few nights ago with no rice. We love chinese food here too! I wasn't able to come close to finishing the whole serving but I did treat myself to 1/2 a crab rangoon. I also love homemade chicken tenderloins and steamed vegetables with teriyaki sauce!

While I love Chinese food, I really struggled with finding something that didn't make me feel like crap. Chinese has so much dang sodium and sugar it made me feel awful every time I ate it, especially if there was any type of sauce.

One day I scoured the menu and spotted "teriyaki chicken". I thought it would be covered with thick, sweet sauce. When I asked them how it was prepared they said they marinated the chicken on skewers and then grilled them. Score!! Now I order the teriyaki chicken over steamed broccoli and it lasts me three meals and I feel great after I eat it!

While I avoid buffets as much as possible (total waste of money when you can only eat a few bites), there is a Chinese buffet an hour away my family loves and they do buffet take out by weight. Although my family was dining in, I asked if I could go ahead and put my food in a to go box, have it weighed and pay. I explained I had surgery and could not eat much. They have let me do it every time. My family likes to make bets on how much my food will cost based on weight. (It's usually $1.50-2.50).

I'm 8 days out and I'm in soft foods. Soups are good. Try soft chicken.
