cant eat chicken breast



Recommended Posts

The Crockpot is your friend. I can only eat chicken breast out of a crockpot because it's super moist. Otherwise, it has to be pretty much drenched in a sauce of some kind. My favorite crock pot recipe is breasts, some EVOO, and a packet of Italian dressing mix (or just use regular italian dressing). You can also make salsa chicken with salsa and chicken. Lots of things you can do in the crockpot with chicken and it comes out super moist! :)

That said, I still can only eat 2-3 oz. But I expect that to be my serving and am fine with that.

I had my surgery 12/19/15 and I still cannot eat no kind of chicken. I have tried fried, baked cooked in with Soup and as soon as the chicken hits my stomach, I have to run to the bathroom to vomit.

It's all in the technique. I poke 2 forkfuls into each chicken breast, then, I put them into gallon zip locks and pour Italian dressing or lemon pepper marinade. Let them refrigerate for 1-2 days. You can bake, grill or cook them on the stove. Very juicy and yummy!

After i take a knife and chop it up. Bite size pieces. Put it on salad make chicken salad whatever.

With what's left Ill make about 6 baggies for the week to eat for meals and Snacks.

Take it slow. Eat a few bites then walk away. It takes me about 30min-1hr to eat 1 breast. Which is why i take them to work and eat them right out the bags.

I grill boneless chicken breast every week and enjoy it as a basic staple in my post op living.

I vary the flavor by using different rubs.

I agree that it can be dry if overcooked......and unsafe if undercooked. The key is to remove it from the grill at the correct internal temp. I've found that 160 degrees is this temp...as far as I'm concerned.

If cooked properly.....it's one of the most sleeve-friendly foods I've encountered.

I could be persuaded to.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
