Chicken salad



Recommended Posts

Hey guys just want to ask a Q.. I'm on soft foods for another 2 weeks and I'm doing good with chicken salad and tuna salad..( eggs arent goong so well) I chew it the 30 times and it doesn't hurt.. It's about the only way I can get a real Protein in.. But is there anything that I can put the chicken salad on and eat it?? I just want to vary my meal a little but don't know what classifies as a safe soft food.. I am going to call my nutrionaslist wed when they reopen but thought id ask here.. And also just want to add that I'm only able to eat about 5-6 bites of the chicken salad/ tuna salad.. Thanks for your thoughts!

You can season it with just about anything. I like curry powder in my chicken salad. Fresh herbs are great too. Try some chopped tarragon and a little dijon mustard. Chicken salad doesn't have to be boring.

Thankyou for replying.. I do make the chicken salad with good seasonings I meant more like what to eat with it.. Pre surgery I loved chicken salad on salad greens or wheat thins or a wheat pita.. Is there something like that that is safe during the soft phase?? I know crackers or a def no right now.. It seems like I read somewhere on here someone put it on a thin slice of pickle forte extra texture.. But I don't think I can have pickles on softs.. Right?? I'm sure I just need to keep eating it with a fork but it nevers hurts to hear other advice :)

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
