highland 168 Posted August 7, 2011 Marinate it. Works everytime to keep it super tender and moist. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sindy SUe 2 Posted August 8, 2011 I can only eat chicken breast if it is canned or moist (such as with honey mustard/BBQ). If my hub grills, he only grills mine a very short time & then I bake it covered in some type of liquid. tuna is a huge problem for me unless it is in so much mayo that it's disgusting! So.... I pretty much do not eat it ever. Anyway hope that helps. I have lost 125lbs so I guess I can live with out tuna! LOL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jlball 0 Posted August 8, 2011 I have learned to cut it into tiny bites and take a lot of time between bites....my band is pretty tights so that's the only way I can eat! Good luck! Hey, guys chicken is causing me all sorts or problems theses days..Is it just me? I keeps getting stuck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jlball 0 Posted August 8, 2011 Hi Sindy Sue, 125lbs is amazing...I'm at 108 with about 30-40 to go! sometimes it seems impossible that I could have done it but maintaining and getting weight off is getting more challenging., I'm almost done with my 2nd year and am disappointed when I backslide. I've gotten back on track this summer which is good. What are your most common "meals" and tips at this point?? I can only eat chicken breast if it is canned or moist (such as with honey mustard/BBQ). If my hub grills, he only grills mine a very short time & then I bake it covered in some type of liquid. tuna is a huge problem for me unless it is in so much mayo that it's disgusting! So....

YngGram 73 Posted August 8, 2011 Happy to say I've not had any problems with `chicken, but I don't have much restriction. I will have a fill on Fri. I also haven't lost as much as I thought I would. I started out like a champ, but it's been over 2 years and I am only down 63lbs. That doesn't count the 10 I've been fighting the last year. Moisture is important, I made Beer Can chicken today, and I can eat McChicken, fingers or wings( I know). I add liquid and cover everything that I bake.

BarbaraG 10 Posted August 8, 2011 I started having trouble with chicken after my 1st fill - no more chicken wings for me! With this 2nd fill, it's worse! I have to pre-chop it up on my plate and eat only a tiny piece at a time and chew the dickens out of it. I know I can use a sauce or salsa, but I honestly prefer it without. Plus it really s.l.o.w.s me down - something I need to practice a lot! If things go down easily, I tend to eat too quickly. And I really love chicken! So I guess I said all that to say I use the negative to enhance the positive. Does that make sense? BTW, my daughter in law who has been banded for over 2 years struggles with chicken too - FWIW.

crecia1975 4 Posted August 8, 2011 I can't have chicken that is too dry. It gets stuck. If I cook breasts, I really like to use my crockpot. Just add broth or salsa and it keeps it moist. I don't have an issue w/ drumsticks or thighs since they are naturally more moist. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
