Chinese food
Tonight the members of my house ordered Chinese, oh it smelled so goooodddddd, i wasn't hungry for it but i thought perhaps just one spoonful of rice,, and than i thought,, are you friggin nuts,, look what you just went through,, smarten the fck up woman,,, the day will come when you can have a little bit just not right now,,, so i sat down and had my tuna and crackers, i'm good with that now, but for a minute it could have went the other way so easily, old habits die hard, but they will die,, oh yes.. they will die (snickers)
it doesn't mean you will never eat it again. After 1 year post op, I had my first chinese meal tonight, of all times.
Yes, I even had the rice. Did I eat as much as I would have 1 year ago - nope. did I have a little of everything - yup. beef with broccoli, chicken balls, rice and eggroll and all sauces on the side.
give yourself a chance and allow yourself time to figure it all out.

You are a better woman than I!!!
I also had a horrible experience with Chinese food about a month post op.. it was my sons birthday and I thought I could have just a little bit... nope. It came back up with NO warning and I was sick for over an hour.
I ended up crying .. not because I felt bad for eating something I shouldn't have... but because i COULDN'T eat it... i was literally mourning food lol
I'm 8 months out now.. 117 pounds lighter.. and I have learned my lesson...
Its a hard road but its worth it in the end.
I tip my hat to you... that's some awesome willpower you have !!!!! You re gonna do great!

good for you.....those obstacles are sometimes difficult to avoid, especially at the beginning.
you saved yourself a whole lot of pain
at almost 3 years post-op...I don;t eat anything deep fried...well that's NOT entirely true..I can eat 1-2 bob-bons, if they are NOT affty..and that along with some chicken low mein, and maybe 2 tablespoons of beef & greens is all I can muster
I actually don't enjoy it anymore...Chinese food and KFC...are not in my desired food category any longer.
