Yes and gizzards! But I am thinking those are too tough! I think I have given up - I am stuffed from lunch still.

What's a chicken liver?

Oh yeah, that's the slimy part of the bird that's in a baggie in the cavity with other slimy parts that gets directly given to the dogs to eat!!!

Seriously, KFC serves this? I'm in CA and I have never heard of such a thing. Is it like the In-and-out Burger secret menu?

Can't wait to rock (even if it's only a small portion) of a "Flying Dutchman" again. Yum!!!

I love chicken livers and KFC's are the best. They don't have them here in Cali, but I am from the midwest and used to eat them all the time!!

I would think that they would be really dry and since we can't drink while eating, that might be a problem!

Kelly I was thinking with some gravy - I agree they may be dry too but I was thinking a great source of Protein.< /p>

I love fried chicken livers and gizzards but I don't eat fried food anymore so it's a no-no for me. I've never heard of KFC selling them, though and they certainly don't sell them here in the Detroit area. They do have places here that do sell them, however. I would imagine it would be a good source of protein...BUT... the fat from frying them and the breading would outweigh the benefits to me. If they were broiled like the other person said it might not be too bad. But I would think it wouldn't taste as good, either. You know what I do when all I have are fast food choices and I need Protein is I go to McDonalds. They have a new grilled chicken sandwich and I order it without mayo and just throw away the bun and eat the rest. It's really yummy! I also eat Wendy's chili now and then for a treat. Good choice on the chili!

They sell chicken livers at KFC in the southern states, especially Mississippi and Alabama, where I am originally from. I have not tried here in San Antonio. I love them and gizzards too! You could only hold one or two anyway so I dont think it would hurt to have them occassionally.

There was a restaurant here that used to do that - they called it rumaki I think - YUM

I don't plan to do fried foods either but right now I am getting 200-300 calories a day and being threatened with a feeding tube if it doesn't turn around in 3 weeks. Believe it or not there isn't much breading on them and what there is I would brush off. I was considering a McD's chicken something, my daughter was at work there and it would have been so easy to text her and have her bring me one but chicken breasts don't sit well with me so far so I skipped it.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
