What dim-sum could you eat at one month?



Recommended Posts

My hubbie and I have been asked to join a couple tonight for dim-sum. I have never had dim-sum, sounds like fun, but I am a bit at a loss as to what I will be able to eat. I am about 1 month out - eating soft foods - but not beef, pork, fried, rice, pasta..... You know what you eat at about a month. Any recommendations on what I might be able to order, sleevers? Thanks for helping me be prepared as I head out tonight!

I had to look up through Google exactly what all Dim Sum included. If you're on the soft stage, could you order some of the Soups? I see a lot of seafood so maybe you could order a soft, white fish menu option.

It looks pretty interesting, and kind of reminds of a Cantonese/Chinese version of a Tapas Restaraunt. It's a bunch of different small portions.

Have fun and let us know how it goes.

Hey girl! I love, love, love dim sum! I think Tiff is right, Soup is gonna be your best bet. You could try a steamed dumpling, but you would be having a bit of Pasta that way. I won't lie, I had one in week five (without the doughy ends of the Pasta, just the meat in the middle and a slight bit around the middle) because that was the day I tossed my Cookies, and I felt week, and China was the next stop at Epcot. ;-)

You could always have the dumplings without the pasta at all. Still yummy and quite tender.

Have fun! Having japanese tonight, myself. Tomorrow is six week check up with Dr. Nick!

You guys rock. Egg drop Soup and dumplings sound like a go for me. At least I have a bit of power going into the new situation. It makes me feel so much better if I have bit of a "plan."

At 1 month after my surgery I was allowed to go to regular diet foods, but I still had to be selective and had to chew, chew and chew my foods, because I did not want to do anything to my stomach staples. I am almost at 2 months now and I eat nuts, meat and other things that require lots of chewing. If I eat too fast, I find that my food does not digest very well.

While I was on soft foods from week 2-4, I did eat some things that were not as soft as they should have been, but I chewed them up very good and ate them very slowly. I hope all went well with the dim-sum.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
