My doc says chicken is one of the best things to eat, has your doc told you different? Sometimes my band doesn't like the chicken, especially if it is dry or if it has breading on it, but usually I do fine with chicken as long as I don't over-do it because it is definitly a gauged food for me....

My hubby BBQ's almost everyday! I don't always eat what he makes, but most of the time I can. Make sure that the chicken, steak, pork chop or whatever you BBQ is moist (I usually put BBQ Sauce on chicken), dip my steak in salsa or horseradish and pork chop in salsa. Don't overcook the meat.

You should be able to eat everything in moderation. There's really nothing I can't eat (don't do really well with pizza crust or pancakes, however). Try a couple bites of whatever you cook, wait a few minutes and see how it feels. If it feels fine, keep going. Eat really slowly. It takes 20 minutes for the brain to register when you've had enuf. If you eat faster, you run the risk of eating too much and then you WILL pay for it (either pain or vomiting, or both)

Happy BBQ'ing!

hub and me cook out at least 6 days a week

we eat chicken and beef.....nothing like smelling food on a grill

i advise to eat slow.. eat your allotted amounts and eat what you like, good quality foods and enjoy..dont over think it...food.. summer, friends, bbq'ing is meant to be enjoyed

We marinade what we put on the grill and ensure that it comes out moist... we've had several cookouts already this year!

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
