Just found out we're going out to dinner with friends tomorrow night, and they want chinese food.

Obviously, won't be eating the rice, but what on Earth can I actually have?

how about veggie stir fry? or brown rice? a lot of chinese places have a menu for weight watchers

Hum, I found the restaurants menu, and they have steamed chicken, beef, scallop, or shrimp with vegggies. Think I"ll try that with egg drop soup.

Egg drop soup is wonderful! And yes, go for anything steamed. Good Luck!

Anything grilled, chicken, shrimp, scallops, tofu. The egg drop or hot and sour soups. One of the first things I craved post op was hot and sour soup and Ahi Tuna. Weird but it was yummy. We went to PF Changs. I could only eat one piece of the Ahi Tuna and half a cup of soup and the waiter was so nice. My husband, god bless him felt the need to explain to the waiter why I did not eat all my meal and he sent me how with a quart of hot and sour soup and extra Ahi Tuna. I ate on it for 4 days. I never thought I would like tofu but it goes down easy and it does have good flavor and is full of protein. good luck and enjoy.

I always get the soup for a safe low calorie bet.... And grilled anything ...chick, pork, steak, shrimp is a good choice. Just eat slowly and enjoy the conversation and company and don't focus on what you can't eat.

Have fun

Hot and Sour soup

I think steamed chicken with egg drop soup sounds pretty safe for you.

Sounds like you got some really great ideas! I'll remember this next time I'm trying chinese.

Thanks everyone. Looking forward to dinner now instead worrying about it!!!
