Would love to taste some chineese food again, but I do NOT plan on trying that one for a long while. there is so much different seasonings used and alot of MSG. so for me it would be a huge NONO...plus you would only be able to have like I piece of meat and some veggies so unless you made it at home not worth the money

Hi all. You might try your beloved Chinese food again at a later date. Seems some people have a problem with one kind of food or another in the first few months but at a later time are able to tolerate better. Just a thought.

What exactly are you trying to eat? Rice & Noodles aren't going to go down for a while, and even then you won't be able to eat much.

I love me some Egg Drop Soup even now... it is chinese food ;)

Well, I know it's debatable if Panda Express is "real chinese" food as some say, but if you have one in your area, let me tell you....I treat myself to the steamed rice, mixed veggies, Teriyaki chicken (soooo tender & good), & orange chicken. I have no issues. My surg was 3/6/13. I chew well & take my time. I eat it for like three meals. try it again in even smaller quantities & maybe try another place. What I live by is that I WILL have anything in moderation. I want to enjoy life & food like I used to BUT, BUT, BUT....not abuse it like I used to. I do shy away from fried foods, but eventually, I will def try fried chicken, lol!

I've only had Chinese once since surgery. I got sick and vomited shortly after, so I haven't tried it again. I do sometimes buy frozen Chinese egg rolls and microwave them. I only eat the filling. It's pretty high in Protein and low in calories and it satisfies my Chinese cravings.

I'm thinking that when I get a few months out I'll dive into mu shu pork or chicken without the pancakes. It sounds good right now, in fact, but I'm midway through my preop diet and starving today for some reason.

I haven't tried (real) Chinese rice for thinking that I could be too greasy? I have done Panda Express serval times meat only.

I have not tried Chinese food since my surgery on 4/9/13. For me its not a big deal as I have never really been a big fan of it. My husband however LOVES Chinese food so we made an agreement that as long as I lost 60 pounds (random number I made up) we could try it 6 months after my surgery. It's good to know that other people have tried it and tolerated it well :)

Try making homemade stir fry sans rice or noodles. It allows you more flexibility and ends up being healthier.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
