I have like no restriction yet but chicken bothers me. I won't even try steak. I ground the beef and chicken and mix them with the veggies I eat. But I have never cared about Protein so that is one of the easiest thing to adjust to.

Superluli - you want to make sure you get your Protein though....it's very important for us!

chicken has always been hard for me after about 6 months. My surgeon told me you should always be able to eat chicken' date=' but that has not been the case for me. Any meat that has been microwaved is not going down for me either.

I have the same issue. chicken is fairly tough to eat unless I put it in the crockpot and even then I only do the dark meat. Also, beef is basically out of the question unless there is a lot of sausr and I can't microwave any kind of meat because of the dryness. I learned that lesson after PBing for about 3 hrs after eating microwaved chicken.

I did chicken breast in crock pot and it was not dry and shredded so good! Easy to digest

Yes!! I love making chicken in the crockpot! I use chicken legs with chicken broth and I Enron put the dry onion Soup in it and gives it great flavor...yumm!

chicken is ok for me if it is smothered in a sauce or gravy...I can't do steak of any description but I think I am at my sweet spot...We have alot of stews here that help...could also be the cous cous...I can't eat rice, not one little bit of it!! so we have rice noodles...it is funny what sticks and what doesn't and its so different for each of us!!!

I've tried chicken so many different ways and I always end up with the same result. I have decided at this point, its just not going to be a staple in my diet anymore. I have been eating more tuna and Fish, which work well for me. I tried a Bratwurst this weekend, was ok for the first 3 bites, after that, I started to get that feeling and stopped immediately.

Certain foods are way too easy for me to eat, others its a bite or two and I'm done. I go in for my 3rd fill next week, I'm sure I'm pretty close to my green zone, but dont think I'm quite there yet...maybe another 1/2cc

My problem with this is that I have never been one to eat all of one food on my plate. I like variety and change it up (a bite of this, a bite of that). I can't just sit and eat all my Protein, then all my veggies, and then carbs. It's too boring. I mix it up and it works for me. As long as you get all your protein in by the end of the meal, that's all that matters. And I have been successful with this method.

I think after a year I am finally at my restriction!!! I got a fill last Monday and I have to be very very careful with chicken! I also cannot eat raw carrots or rice!!! I love sushi, but can only eat the rice if I chew chew chew it!!!! My hubby cooks chicken and he shreds it between two forks so I can eat it that way!!! I am finally realizing what it means to take your time with eating and how important it is to feel this restriction thing!!! I am so HAPPY, I FINALLY have the restriction, it has been a LONG year!!!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
