Chinese food help 911

I have to go out to dinner to a Chinese place tonight. Can I eat ANYTHING there or do I just sip my water with lemon while everyone else eats? I am on my 5th week post op. Before surgery I would have Kung Pao Chicken with white steamed rice and cheese wontons.

How about steamed chicken & broccoli? But obviously a small portion of what is served to you

What does your surgeon's plan say at this point?

You can probably have egg drop soup.

No on the rice.

No on the Kung Pao AT THIS POINT but you'll probably be able to have some later on.

I am on soft food and I am allowed to introduce new foods one at a time.

Are you sure that is on our list to try one at a time??  I would be ever so careful!!

 

I would stick to broth and cottage cheese...if it is on the buffet...egg drop soup or plain broth if sit down.

Egg drop soup for sure :)

I tried Egg Foo Young about 3 months out and got SOOOO SICK    I have never gone back.  Too much fat for me.  But egg drop soup may be OK at this stage.

I can eat chicken or beef and brocoli.  No problems.  I've had other chinese food...just stay away from anything fried or in sweet sauces.   No rice.  And stay true to portion size.     But at 5 weeks out, I don't think I could have done it.   I think the soup suggestion is probably a smart one.  At six months out, I could definitely try kung pao chicken, but I'd still pass on the rice and wontons.

I chickened out and stayed home.
