Ethiopian Food

It's my all time fave! Has anyone tried it post band? I think it might be difficult because of the injera. I'm thinking about breaking my pre-op to say goodbye. I know, I know, I have "last supper syndrome" but I feel like if I knew I'd be able to have it later - no big deal, but never again? What do you all thnk?

I eat Ethiopian food. I can tolerate injera. it's very moist and relatively easy to get down compard to most non-toasted breads I've tried (though I have no bread intolerances so far, it's just easier). If it proves to be a problem for you, just be "that" guy and ask for a fork.

Don't break your pre-op diet. There are posts & posts on why this is bad, including having surgery cancelled.

Okay, that makes me feel better. "Never" is a hard concept to swallow. I was just reading up on injera and it appears to be actually pretty good for you. Since it's made with teff it's gluten free and high in protien, Fiber and all sorts of minerals. I will wait. It's nice to have something to look forward to.

I love Ethopian. A lot of the foods are stewed, meat and veggies and all, and it's spicy, and warm and yummy! I haven't had a really hard time with the bread, it's spongey, a different consistency than your average bread, so as long as you take small bites and chew, it should be fine.

where do you all live that you can get Ethiopian food? ??? I'm all for trying new things, but they don't have anything like that in my neck of the woods. We just got a middle eastern restaurant. they have zuccinni fritters with fluffy eggs that are to die for. They put greek yogurt on top. YUM! But that's about as unusual as we get round here.....

I'm in Missouri. We only have one Ethiopian restaurant that I know of, but tons of Indian, Thai, Vietnamese, even a Polynesian.

I'm in Chicago. We have good Ethiopian here but the best in the US is probably in Washington DC - they have tons of restaraunts
