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!

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!

      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.
