Most Chinese restaurants, including fast food chains such as Panda Express, will allow you to order an entree on its own rather than a combo that includes rice. This helps to drastically reduce the number of carbs you consume. We often go a neighborhood restaurant that has really steamed boneless chicken that is yummier than you'd expect, and I'll have it with some veggies.

It is pretty easy to make good choices at a Chinese restaurant. I do it all the time.

First ask them what Entrees they have with no sugar in the sauce. They will tell you right away if they have a few or none.

You can replace rice with steamed veggies.

Egg drop Soup is a good choice (I think its gross but people like it)

I get sushi and don't eat the rice.

All it takes is some out of the box thinking and a little will power.

Also even though I know my stomach is fully healed, I'm still terrified to eat rice. Luckily I don't like it anyway.

at Chinese restaurants I order something with non-fried meat and veggies and just eat about a cup of that (with no rice). I then have them box the rest up and I take it home. There should be lots of menu choices you can have if you follow those guidelines (beef & broccoli, chicken & veggies, etc)

      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.
