You can have Chinese food later and besides, it won't taste the way that your thinking it will taste. LOL Think of all the $$$ we are saving in not eating all the expensive foods now. :)

I know the feeling. I'm 8 months post op and I've been craving some Chinese food. For me the reason I don't have any is the sodium. I don't want to retain Water and I will. So I refrain. lol

You can do it. :)

Depending what stage your in you can have egg drop Soup. I personally don't tolerate Chinese food to well, I've had better luck with Thai food, it's less greasy and they put more veggies.

Perhaps after you reach your goals, you can treat yourself and ask the restaurant to go easy on the oil, and eliminate the salt....since they make it fresh. Don't do it now, while you are reaching your goals. It will just slow you up...and no one want that.

I, too, wish for some food...I really do, but I'm not allowed food, yet, and when I am, I have to be careful...I really want to stick to the Protein shakes and get all the weight off before eating foods.

I wonder if just a bite would fill you up, as so many people say on here, that once you eat actual food...you cannot eat as much as you can drink of a Protein shake.

You can have it when you get to the solid food stage. The liquid and puree stages don't ast long- that part will be over before you know it.

I still enjoy all my favorite foods. Everything tastes just as good for me; just TINY PORTIONS. I had a delicious 2oz Porterhouse last night and Pinot Noir too. Still losing weight well, and I've always exercised regularly. My sleeve is a dream come true. I never thought I could eat this little.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
