how to get meats to go down okay



Recommended Posts

I need input on how others cook meats, so that they don't get stuck. I have 7ccs fill and can't eat bread plus many other things. I'm thinking I need to put chicken broth or sauces on everything. Any help with this is appreciated.

Use moist cooking methods rather than dry cooking methods. Stew, casserole etc goes down far easier than grilled or fried. Use sauces, gravies. Don't overcook. Eat chicken thigh rather than chicken breast as it is moister. Avoid reheated meats as they can cause problems.

Cook your meats in a crockpot, add some cream of chicken or other cream base Soup or sauce or gravy. It will be very tender and will go down so much easier. I use the crockpot for most of my meals now!

Thanks for your replies! I guess I'm going to have to get a Crockpot. I know it makes meats moister. I'm used to eating chicken breasts that I would grill (before band), but that isn't working anymore. I will get a crockpot tomorrow. :) thanks again. Gail

. Thanks Elsie for your reply. I'm going to apply your ways this week. The dry/grilled isn't working. Thanks again. Gail

You may also consider eating fish instead of chicken and alternate sources of Protein like Beans, tofu, etc.

Vegetarian options of meat often go down easier than actual meat.< /p>

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
