shrimp with lobster sauce very good choice!!

Tried it about 6-8 weeks after surgery. NO rice and NO eggroll. I had hot and sour Soup and some garlic chicken that was not breaded. Went fine and had A LOT of leftovers!! I am almost 4 months out.

It really depends on what food stage you are at. At 3 weeks out I was on pureed foods, so there were no real Chinese food options for me other than Soup (and for me, that wasn't a great option since I was trying to get my Protein in as best I could). Since starting all foods, I've had steamed shrimp/chicken with vegtables and garlic sauce on the side. A very small amount of sauce gave a great flavor. I agree that most menu items are fried, high calories/carbs and high sodium. As with anything, we need to make good choices.
Congrats on your surgery!! Good luck!

My favorite thing with tofu is hot and sour Soup - though I'd like to find a way to make it with less sodium!

pureed cottage chesse isn't "gross". It has the consistencty of Greek yogurt.
For breakfast, I did pureed cottage cheese with a little vanilla extract, cinnamon, and artificial sweetner. It tastes like a cinnamon roll with cream cheese frosting!
Another treat: 16 ounces low-fat cottage cheese pureed with 1 small envelope of sugar free Jello powder - makes four 4 oz. servings. strawberry is my favorite, but any flavor will work.

low fat Soups ,chilli ,pureed tuna, egg,chicken, crab meat, salads, on soda crackers, homemade pea Soup wit lean ham, smoked mussels , creamed oat meal, hummus ,etc.. Hope some of these things help.. if i can remember more i will post more

Ok I'm whispering this... ( what is kale? What does it look like?)

Looks delish and healthy! Can't wait to get to the stage to have this! Yum!
