Had Chinese food today - never again!

[Boofster 159]

So, since my surgery on Nov 19 I've been eating pretty healthy, and up to now have tried to avoid situations where I would be faced with really unhealthy food. Today I went out for lunch for a work thing and some Chinese staple dishes were ordered for everyone to have. I should have asked for my own healthy dish, like shrimp and steamed veggies, but felt weird about doing so. Well, from the choices I opted to eat the beef and broccoli, as the other dishes involved rice and lo mein, etc. and wanted to avoid the carbs. I ate some of the regular beef and broccoli and immediately felt horrible!! I almost vomited. I cannot believe that I used to scoff down plates of this stuff. How things have changed!! I only hope my new habits stay with me for my lifetime. Lesson learned today!!

Sorry you are feeling bad! At least you didn't eat the greasy noodle things !! Imagine how that would of felt!!

Next time just say you would just like the soup!

I like " hot and sour soup" or some people eat egg drop...

Ugh... I had that experience also when I was about 2 months out. Never again. However, I can tolerate Thai food, which tends to be healthier.

Chinese food can be torture. I stick with the chicken satays, and maybe some steamed veggies. I hope you feel better. Have you had your post-op lab check up yet?

do you feel sick because it feels stuck or is it just a full feeling?

I must be weird because I've had Chinese food- and other foods that a lot of people have said they got sick on commonly post op- well I've had them and was totally fine. I wish I had lost a taste for certain foods but not at all

The beef & broccoli was very oily, so I think that must have had something to do with it. Also, the broccoli was very crunchy, and I usually cook my veggies fairly well. I love Thai food and chicken satay but haven't tried either in a restaurant yet (have only had the Weight Watchers Thai noodels with chicken, lol). One day at a time.

I go for my lab work in a week in anticipation of my 3 month checkup. Fingers crossed!

I have no issue eating anything at all. No sickness no nothing. My sleeve is of iron! I just don't understand why ppl have reactions because its the same stomach just smaller nothing's changed but the size

I do have pretty close to an Iron stomach, but now certain things go down better than others, I guess. I mean I used to eat plates of this stuff, and now I can't, which is certainly better for me.

I'm sure all will go well. I had mine the second week of January, all is good.

Makes me sick to think how much Chinese food I could put away pre-op. Ugh.

I don't think it is the stomach per say , but your body. When you give up fats and other foods like that, your body doesn't always know how to handle it.
