Eating Out

Okay, I have a dilemma of sorts. Tonite we are going to eat out at work, possibly chinese. I know I can tolerate the soups, except I do not like chinese soups... I do love Thai soup, Coconut soup is the BEST however that is not a choice for tonight. I plan to see what is on the appetizer menu and just stick to that or try some chicken dish, just do not know what to oder for the first time out. Any Ideas? Chicken Lo Mein and just pick out the chicken Im 5 weeks post op and haven't found anything yet, I can not tolerate but then again I am not out there experimenting and testing the waters either. For nurses week, we ordered out last night, I stuck with grilled chicken tenders and a vegtable which I did fine with, however I am about all chickened out at this point, and would like to order a shrimp dish tonight, just haven't a clue which one to go with Love Ya's!

Hey Sandy. I have found that I do best with Vegetable when we eat chinese. I usually get Veggie or Chicken Lo Mein. Not a great choice for Protein, but the fiber always helps me get things moving!! I'll eat a few of the noodles, but usually pick out the chicken and veggies. I do love hot and sour soup (which I hated prior to surgery). Good luck and have fun! Kim

Thanks Kim, now I do like hot and sour soup! I will ask if they use tofu in it like they do egg drop soup. I am just not a egg person, and I do not like that soup at all. I am leaning towards the low mein, may try shrimp low mein and see how that is and pick out the shrimp and veggies... Hugs, Sandy

I like shrimp lo mein, but I'm not a good advice giver since I'm pre-op. On the other hand, if you get really, really sick, you might get to go home and can get on here and talk to us. Love, Joni

LOL! Whatta way to get to come home... Ive felt really nauseous only once so far, and it is a horrible feeling... We didnt get chinese last night. We got screwed by Wendys, and half cooked chicken breast.. so we decided to go chinese tonight. If I post before MN you know I got ...LOL
