Healthier Chinese Food Options

The diet menu is great to hear about. Since I'm not far from you, where is this wonderful place?

I just keep craving my edamame.  I am only 11 days out and would love some chinese food.  Wishful thinking.

O****ep seeing edamame...what the heck is it? Is it real good for us?  how does it come to us ...is it a plant, herb, root thing or maybe a fruit?  Sorry ... this is one the few things edible that I have no knowledge of.... thank you ....Sam

it is soy beans (looks like lima bean in a pod) You can buy them in the freezer section or most Chinese/Japanese restaurants.  I get a big bag at Sam's and it comes with individual bags to steam in microwave and even little packets of kosher salt to put on them.  They are very good for you and high protein.  Check them out....I love them as snacks.

steamed chicken with vegetables.  the sauce is kept separate.  My favorite even before surgery.  there is so much sodium in the sauce, when it is separate you can control how much you use.

 Thanks for all the great suggestions! I'm glad I didn't do poorly in makinng the choice! Next time I will have steamed beef with sauce on the side. MMMM I love chinese food.

I have not, at two years, out found chinese food that agrees with me and since it was the last thing i ate before my ulcer perforated I am not ever going to try it again...

my surgeon told me it's one of the hardest foods for WLS to eat after surgery and I am agreeing with him....
