I really believe the lapband should be a new lifestyle and in any lifestyle we ARE going to occasionally make some less than ideal food choices.

I would have a little of whatever you fancy and just keep it small. Dont overdo it. Then move on and eat well again at your next meal.

It wont hurt your weight loss and its important to learn the kills about how to deal with not being in total control of what you get to eat on certain occasions.

Its just food at the end of the day.

I like beef and broccoli, bourbon chicken and spring rolls.

I would have to agree with Jachut.... Decide what you would like and what your band will tolerate (noodles and rice don't generally work for me so I don't have any) and then have small portions.

I generally enjoy all the veggies, I like chicken with curried veggies, and sometimes I even manage a piece or 2 of sweet and sour pork or chicken.

If you look at it realistically, you aren't going to go the rest of your life without eating chinese....so try what you want and see how it works out.

I have found the breaded meats difficult to eat, but there are so many that are just stir fried that it is not a problem. The soups are delicious too.

The chinese items i get are bbq, the fat content is a little high but it offers low carb and protien, Also ask to see if there are any sugar free low carb options. I know a chinese place here offers that and I got the chicken cashew. It was pretty good.

I guess it depends on when you were banded. If you're still on liquids or softs, egg drop soup is great. If you're eating regular food, focus on the protein. I skip the rice and get stuff like Mongolian beef or twice-cooked pork.

Just stay away from the white rice. It tends to get stuck and cause the dreaded PBing.

Egg drop soup is my fav on a cold winter day. Yum!!!
