Which goes down easier for you chicken or beef?:confused: I actually haven't tried beef yet but I've been reading some complaints about chicken lately.:phanvan I am afraid to try beef since I am having such a hard time with chicken. If I take more than 2 bites within 10 minutes it's surely a PB.;) I am trying to eat more Protein but I am sick and tired of this constant golf ball.:angry I already went for an unfill last week so I would really like to work with the restriction I have right now.

I haven't tried beef (other than ground) yet either. chicken is tough sometimes. I have to have it swimming in some kind of sauce in order to get it down. Then at that point, it's not exactly low fat so I've been really eating a lot of seafood and eggs. I've become the omlette queen!!!! LOL!!:hungry:

What kind of chicken are you eating Laura? I know sometimes the breast can be dry and harder to swallow. I have been able to eat both chicken and beef. I even had carne asada last Sunday. I'm only tight in the morning, so no steak and eggs for me! ha! But, by evening I can eat most anything.

socalgal3, sounds like you have perfect restriction. I wouldn't mind at all if I was only tight in the morning. Last night I was able to get maybe 1/2 (or close to it) shredded chicken taco down. Tonight I don't think I could handle a cup of yogurt. I have the golf ball with liquid.< /p>

for me chicken is definitely harder to eat. Slap a big ol steak on my plate any day.... no problems. chicken, it is a hit or miss for me. (all of my pb's have been on chicken...).

I do great with beef and chicken/turkey that is ground....sloppy joes, bbq, taco meat, meat loaf, etc. Other kinds of chicken....I just never know.

Tonight for the first time I tried steak....it went down just fine - and it stayed down! Hooray!! Thick, medium rare sirloin cooked on a grill.

I actually do much better with beef than I do chicken. But, with beef I have the choice of choosing the better cut, which I prefer the filet mignon. It is so tender it practically melts in my mouth and goes down without any problems at all.

I have pb'd more than once on chicken, but have had no trouble with beef; I wonder if I'm more careful with beef because I think it'll be more troublesome? In any case, my bands pretty fickle so it's always a crap shoot no matter what I eat. I have had good luck with shaved chicken breast from Walmart's deli-I don't eat bread, just the chicken.:hungry:

They both go down the same for me. I'm lucky. I don't have to slather them with too much sauce, either. I've had some pretty dry chicken breast and haven't had as much as a hiccup.

I am getting pretty grossed out with ground beef though. All that chewing, I can actually pick out the fat and grissle. YUCK! I've been doing everything I can to convince DH to try some other dishes so that I can avoid the ground beef.

Carlene, Your post hit home (for alot of us I am sure)! One day I feel too tight and then bam I can eat the next day. Although, even when I can eat it's only a few bites. Oh well, I am losing weight!

      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.
