My favorite was wonton soup! I'm so over it now...but steamed shrimp or chicken and broccoli is good or they have mixed vegetables stir fried...I've always asked for steamed...they gave me so much veggies I had enough to last me a whole week.

Most places will steam vegetables for you and you can ask for no MSG, salt etc. Chinese food is delish, but be careful as it is usually loaded with fat and salt. Well, which is why it taste so darn good.

It gets easier. I find that anything in a sauce goes down easily. And I don't really worry about calories from the sauces. At 700-900 calories a day, we have room to spare so I don't think they'll hurt me too much.

if you look the various Chinese food dishes up for their caloric values you may find that even a small portion of something benign like chicken and Broccoli will be at or above that 700-900 mark for just the one meal.

Man, I've been dying for chinese.... Sesame chicken... But I can eat so little at a time, I know I would end up eating a little then wasting it. Maybe later down the road...

They usually have a heathy option with no sugar, no msg, etc. I LOVE Chinese food. I don't eat anything breaded or fried. Love crab rangoons, but that is what got me to a size 24. Now, I only do shrimp with snowpeas and skip the rice. 7months out for me,,,, I can usually eat about 5 shrimp.

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
