I was told by my bariatic center to stay away from chicken breast and go towards skinless boneless chicken thighs - does the breast meat in the crock pot come out just as moist or should I stick to my thighs?

Wait do they recommend the thighs or not? I typically buy boneless skinless thighs because breasts tend to be dry, but I'm just curious as you your center's rationale?

I have a slow cooker balsamic recipe that's rather tasty. I typically used thighs but i guess it would work with breasts. 190 calories 26 gram of Protein per serving, and 4 net carbs. http://m.skinnyms.com/slow-cooker-balsamic-chicken/

Well I would certainly follow whatever rules your surgeon has in place. I get the idea that the thighs are moist but they are not as healthy as the white meat. I personally do NOT eat dark meat chicken, it has a much higher fat content. But that is just my preference. As I said. cooking the breasts this way makes them very moist and very post-op friendly.

I have used boneless breasts a jar of salsa and a packet of taco seasoning, let it go about 6 hours. Then shred the chicken, its perfect for tacos for my husband and I just have to dress it up with some sour creme maybe cheese for myself

I was sleeved July 16, 2013 and am now eating soft foods. I feel so blessed to be able to eat my favorite chicken. I made a chicken in the crockpot and I have been eating those roasted chickens from the grocery stores. I am also back at work and am needing easy recipes. These are some great ideas. Thanks

      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.

        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.

      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!
