Guest guest Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 Thank you for the information. actually, the food at the Chinese place was really lean. We are talking steamed shrimp, steamed crab, broiled salmon and baked chicken. I am not sure about the egg drop soup, but I only had about 1/4 cup. The nachos I thought were good becasue it was real cheese, light and the ground beef was 98% lean. The nacho chips were baked, not fried and only had a few. I thought that it would've been an excellent choice. That is also why I got white meat chicken salad with light mayo on it. Thought it would be moist and full of protein. I will do the liquid again and same with soft. My doc never said anything about it, though I've seen people mention it online from their doctor. I love the band though.

Guest guest Posted November 30, 2008 Report Share Posted November 30, 2008 Thank you, Sharon. I don't get a lot of information for that type thing. The nuts at the hospital are much more familiar with gastric bipass. I had absolutely no restriction before, so it was never an issue. I am doing better now, but will keep an eye open to make sure I am not too tight.

Guest guest Posted November 30, 2008 Report Share Posted November 30, 2008 I don't seem to have problems with bread. It is weird, because I expected to. I did have trouble with whole wheat spagetti. When I had my surgery I was told that I would eventually be able to eat everything I always could, just very small quantities and chewing a lot.

Guest guest Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 I didn't have trouble with bread until my last fill. The bread I'm eating is Ezekiel sprouted bread (no flour, whole grain sprouts, high fiber.not sure how they do that, but it's good), but with the last fill, it joined the ranks of the other caution foods on my list. Sandy in FLorida _____ Almost everyone has trouble with bread if they have a good fill. maybe you don't quite yet. There are a number of " avoid " or " caution' foods we should be aware of. it's only the bypass people that can eat most foods - even sweets eventually. but even if we CAN eat bread, white pasta, white rice, and other junk food, we really need to avoid them and choose only the most nutritious foods, since we have so little pouch room. _._,___ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
