Sleeved&Hopeful 182 Posted February 22, 2012 Yup I bought the KFC mashed potatoes and they are soooo good. I also bought a small cup of Chili's baked potato Soup and mashed the potatoes in it and it was delicious. 1 Val Rennee reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Capt Derel 287 Posted February 22, 2012 Doesnt kfc sell a grilled chicken patty themselves. I ate a patty sandwich a year or 2 ago that was great but now postop theres no way I can eat that much. That sandwich by itself would be 2-3 meals lol. But there is things from each fastfood restaurant that one can eat if really needed. (null) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
circa 333 Posted February 22, 2012 KFC does sell grilled chicken and its outstanding. They have a sandwich that's 2 grilled chicken breasts, bacon and cheese -that's the whole sandwich - no bread or anything. It would be probably 4 meals. 1 Mr_Worm reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KILROY 2 Posted February 22, 2012 At first i was scared. 3 + weeks and about 2 weeks pre-op only liquids. After 2nd week post-op Dr. Visit. They told me u doing great no pains, nausea, reflux or any gas build up. Said week 3 start on mash, grits and oatmeal. Grilled or baked chicken, turkey and fish. I waited till almost week 4 to try the meat. So far no problems. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr_Worm 129 Posted February 22, 2012 just the KFC in general is good for our diets...in regular form..not patty. I only get the meat so I'm not tempted on sides Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AbacoRaveness 44 Posted February 22, 2012 I am 3 weeks out and can eat meat of any kind as long as its moist and in small enough pieces (I puree it in the food processor). Had my followup today and my surgeon is thrilled. Guess it depends on your surgeon/ center. Mine recommended full liquids at 3days, pureed food at 7 days, and soft (but distinct pieces of food) at day 11. They want us off Protein supplements and onto "real"food food ASAP resuming a normal, healthy plan by 6weeks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
circa 333 Posted February 22, 2012 at 3 weeks, mushies/purees are where I was at. I did have some mashed potatoes, but I had very little and pretty much used them to thicken cream of mushroom Soup. When I started week 4, that's when I went to eating chicken and other meats that were whole foods. Haven't had any issues. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sleeved&Hopeful 182 Posted February 22, 2012 I am not going to try chicken or anything like that until about 6 weeks out. Right now the mashed potatoes and creamy Soups are going down ok and I enjoy them but as for chicken, I know I couldn't hold it down. I do look forward to it though because chicken is great for Protein.< /p> 1 yecats reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
christin 54 Posted February 22, 2012 chicken is the only meat I just don't seem to tolerate too well (of what I have tried so far). I did get about a third of a chick fil a grilled breast down once and it tasted amazing. However, I felt uncomfortable for over an hour afterward. Guess I am still not ready for chicken even at 6 weeks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
