Starting To Hate Chicken... Already :-(



Recommended Posts

My doc has me on meat, cheese and eggs for the first few weeks after surgery. Yay for protein! This morning I put chicken thighs (bc they're moist) in a slow cooker. For Breakfast, I blended chicken with miracle whip and some broth for mush. No bueno. For lunch I blended chicken and cheese with chicken broth. It was okay. For dinner I blended chicken with gravy... In retrospect I'm not sure this was my brightest move. It wasn't a good taste to me at all. I think my band has caused me to fall out of love with chicken :-( I was fine eating it during pre-op diet. Has this happend to anyone else? I think I'm going to do eggs and cheese tomorrow...

Honestly, chicken is my least favorite protien!! I am by no means a vegetarian, but I plan on sticking with soft and moist fish after my surgery, soft boiled eggs, etc. Good luck, just think that it sucks for you but others are ANXIOUS to get there!!

Good luck =)

After surgery, there were things I fell out of love with... Protein Drinks, no matter what brand, I couldn't stand! It's slowly coming back now though. Maybe give it a while and Take chicken out of your diet...? I don't know why it happens, but you are not alone :)

Try blending it with different things. I found some SF buffalo sauce so I blended some with that, a laughing cow blue cheese, and a little bit of FF ranch. I have also been blending it with refried Beans and salsa.

What about turkey meatballs or veggie burgers? Greek yogurt is also a great source of Protein.

Thanks everyone.

Mega my doc has allowed meat cheese and eggs only so no veggies or yogurt for me. I could try the buffalo sauce though... But maybe its just what Think is saying. I just can't stand pureed chicken?

ChicagoRose thanks for helping me put things in perspective ;-)

Have you thought about low fat deviled ham? I believe you get it in the canned chicken/tuna aisle at the grocery store and its spreadable. I remember my mother use to make sandwiches from it. Maybe since that's already made to eat it might taste ok? I'm a few days away from mushey foods so guess I better start thinking about it. Also what about tuna with lemon juice mashed real fine? That might be good too.

Google chicken recipes. I make some killer hot wings on the grill now.

Also a cream of chicken Soup with minced chicken is good too.

Pork is something my doc said to steer clear of (I personally slime when I eat ham) I haven't tried the canned ham but I might give it a shot since is already mushied :)

Richgirl I'll have to look for that. I had scrambled eggs with cheese this morning and mashed them with a fork. Amazing! Lol

Texas I can't have Soups. Another reminder that every doc is different!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
