Before surgery, my favorite thing to eat was chinese. I am 4 weeks out and back to eating normal foods this week - no more mushies!!!!

My problem is.....I really want Chinese. Anyone eat it? What do you have? I am not a huge fan of the Soups.

Hmmmmm.......help!

If you have a PF changs nearby the oolong tea marinated sea bass is so good. Served on a bed of spinach. it was my first restaurant meal post-op..also like using the Chinese flavors at home. Just a splash of soy and a litte sesame oil can take chicken or fish to a yummy new level. Add a little splash of orange juice too.. Yummy

Yes, but watch the rest of their menu. I think I figured the only other thing edible thing for me on the menu was the salt and pepper prawns, but it's really high in sodium. When we were choosing a place to eat, I gave up on PF Changs and went elsewhere.

I like Vietnamese garlic chili paste, soy sauce, sesame oil and some OJ too!

I am 8 weeks out and I just started to eat Chinese, I love garlic chicken, I just skip the mushrooms(allergic ) and I also love the pepper steak. I just don't eat the rice someone else in my family does and if I get a large order it will last me about 3 days worth of meals.

I've had very small amounts of white meat Kung Pao chicken a few times already with no problems! Avoid the rice if you can though. I've had issues even with tiny amounts. Enjoy!

Egg Foo young (with chicken) I ate that without the gravy and rice....

I know you said you don't care for the Soup, but my fAvorite thing is to order the wonton soup, minus the wonton, so it's just broth with some green onions and an extra plate. Then i sample a bite or two of whatever my husband or daughter is having. The portions are way too big at our favorite place, even when we go during lunch. Last week I had pork with vegetables(made spicy) and a bite or two of lo mein.

Restaurants don't usually measure vitamins and minerals. Doesn't mean they are not there.

Do you have a Trader Joe’s? They make an Asian stir fry cauliflower rice that is so good. We add chicken to it and the Trader Joe’s soyaki. So much better for you and tastes like the real thing.

That sounds so good, wish I had one near me

Doesn't every Chinese have Hot and Sour soup?

Yes but not everybody has a Trader Joe's. Actually we have 2 China Buffet which I frequent and Hunan Gardens which I don't. Incidentally the owner of Hunan Gardens is Peter Pan. No Captain Hook, no Tinkerbelle but one of the waitress --American name "Wendy",
