I have a recipe for buffalo chicken lettuce wraps. I love buffalo chicken anything. However, I'm not approved for lettuce for a few more days but I plan to try it soon!

Um, I'm sorry, but you can't just throw that out there and not give us the recipe, or a link, or something. That's just cruel. ;)

I love this blog but it's not all WLS friendly, it's more for WW. I still haven't tried them...

But I made this tonight: http://www.emilybites.com/2011/08/buffalo-chicken-bites.html

Many people around here rave about Emily Bites. These were so good!

Love this, and I have to say bacon is high in fat, but we all (most of us) love it anyway. I agree about frying it in its own grease. I have tried several things over the years. The microwave trays that try to keep the bacon out of the grease but fail most of the time, to baking on a cookie sheet while its laying in its own grease.

Well my husband will make his own chunky Jerky out of deer meat every year, and i started watching how he will do a batch for his brother, (a special way from the other) he would take a strip of meat and shove a toothpick through the top, and then drop the meat between the racks of the smoker (similar to oven racks) until it catches on the toothpick. The meat just hangs there while he dries it out in the oven. I got to thinking about this with bacon. I so i did the same, put a pan under the bacon to catch the drippings, and to my surprise I got crispy unsoaked bacon. Still high in fat as thats natural meat but I did manage to cook with the grease just dripping away from it, and not laying in it.

I like this idea, think I'll have to try it the next time we do bacon.

      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.
