Tried Pf Changs Today For The 1St Time And Didn't Go So Well



Recommended Posts

Probably didn't choose the right thing to eat but my mom was with me and we shared Chang's spicy chicken and veggie fried rice, lots of food I might add but anyway, I cut my chicken to tee tiny bites, and then had some rice, well I guess the rice swelled and I got stuck, had to make a run to the restroom and started PB'ing, of all things. I was so disappointed too, it used to be my fav place. Wondering now if lettuce wraps would have been a better choice. idk... It was really cold in Nashville today to maybe the weather played a part in my band, who knows, well not cold cold but the weather had turned off colder and the wind was up which made it feel really cold. Does the weather affect our bands? For instance winter weather? I never noticed last winter but I was only 6 months out then and not very much in my band then.

I can do some rice sometimes , mostly th I am not able to do rice as it does get me stuck or makes e swell real bad so I try to stay away from rice , it's funny I can eat the zataran's jambalya mix rice , but I can not do any other, so I choose to ask at resturaunts or even at friends , family or even my own house l choose to do more bean or veggies instead.

Rice has been on my "Do not eat list" from very early on....and as far as chicken, I have found, can be very tough, hard when eating out...a place like Chang's moves a lot of chicken so I would suspect it would be Ok, but I do not trust it at most places....

I had home made jambalya, lastnight, and the rice was okay for me. And I bet you will have to wear mote clothes this winter than lst! I did, cold hits hard after being a bigger person and losing your extra "coat". :D

oh about more clothes, you have no idea, i'm so cold natured now its awful, lol. I usually can eat chicken of some sort and be ok with it so I guess it was the rice that didn't agree with me. It was a strange feeling, unlike other times when I've gotten stuck.

Fried foods and Rice are not my friend anymore and I love it. So I push the envelope and eat it thinking maybe I have outgrown it not being able to tolerate it. Bad move every time!!

Donna...nice to see you!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
