I had chicken on day 9 post op and did just fine. Make sure it is leg or thigh as both are moist and not as dry as breast and wing.

surgery date: 7/30/12

For a quick dinner I did one of those microwavable breasts in gravy (like Tyson or Hormel and yes I know they are terrible for you!) at 3-4 weeks and had no problems whatsoever. Just shredded it and kept it moist. I think a rotisserie chicken would go down well to because it is moist. I like shredding it - feels like you are eating more and it's easier to take smaller bites.

Good luck!

For some reason I can't eat chicken. After trying several times...I just gave up :( It was moist but just doesn't work. Hope it works for you. Chicken was about the only meat I ate before the surgery so I'm being forced to try new things!

I can't eat chicken. It was after 1 month I try it out. I did have a few bites from Boston market last week when I took my kids out with some gravy & it went down fine.

The only chicken I can eat is the rotisserie chicken from the deli at Walmart. It seems most enough. Its the one thing I didnt think I would have such a problem with but chicken breast I cook for my family just dont work for me. It was about month 2 for me that I could tolerate the rotisserie kind.

Try cooking it in a slow cooker. The moister the better. I have a problem with canned tuna,

Try braising boneless skinless chicken thighs...moist, yummy, full of protein!

I just tried Tyson chicken breast tenderloin strips on the grill both yesterday and today and it went down fine, but I felt full after trying 1 ounce with gravey to keep moist. Today is my 1 month surgiversary.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
