Chinese was my absolute favorite. I have tried rice... and no way does my pouch like it. So I dont even go there. But will be interested to hear what some others have tried.

I've tried it. No problems. Just a smaller portion than I used to eat pre op. But it's good to at least get the taste

Egg drop soup? Maybe?

When my family wants it I tend to stick with Teriyaki beef or chicken on skewers. I will sometimes get also steamed dumplings and basically only eat the insides of them because the dough is too much but, I like the pork stuffing in them. I don't think my stomach could handle anything else really. They use a lot of oil unless you ask for steamed.

Let's see..hot and sour soup, egg drop soup, egg foo yung,garlic shrimp, ginger beef...no rice, no lo mein, I also do dim sum, but can't do the wrappers. I can do a rice paper fried spring roll, but can only do about a half of one.

I actually agree with mostly everything on this list. I also was able to eat steamed veggies- but got full to fast, lettuce wraps with tofu, and scallops from pf Chang.

No more than 2 months- just chew alot on the sprouts. They may bother you. I did shrimp or veggie egg foo young at first. Try a little, see how it goes. And ask for extra gravy on the side. At most you can only eat a 1/4 or 1/2 a patty so split it with someone. I find it too dry to eat as a leftover.

I forgot... I did do tofu with veggies in a garlic sauce... Yummie!! But the veggies were after 3-4 months post op.

I can't eat Chinese food at all. I try lo mein & soup & beef & shrimp with broccoli I vomit with everything. I used to love it & now it's my enemy.

Egg drop soup is the ONLY thing my pouch can handle!

Maybe the place you go uses MSG? That is what is found in meat tenderizer and makes us puke...

Chinese food is a no-no for me unless the veggies are steamed. All the other non-steamed dishes like egg-fo0 young are extremely high in fat . . . basically the egg-foo is eggs fried in oil loaded with very greasy gravy... which should be avoided at all costs no matter what !!!! Stick to the steamed dishes and order the sauce on the side with no oil.

Try to stay away from the egg foo young it is loaded with fat... stick to the steamed dishes.

According to my fitness pal, half an egg foo yung patty-with shrimp is 157 calories -the gravy is usually a broth thickened with cornstarch. Fat grams for half a patty is 12-
