CAN YOU GIVE ME THE RECIPTE

I usually throw chicken legs & thighs into a pressure cooker with some chopped red onions, tomatoes, carrots and Beans - spice it up with whatever suits you or whatever you prefer. End result is soft food which goes down easily during the first few weeks post surgery. The max you can consume is about 1 handful in a bowl.

I was eating out at restaurants just after a month post sleeving - you just have to be very choosy about what you easy when out - that's it!

Another good easy Protein recipe:

Take a few frozen chicken breasts and throw them in a crockpot with a jar of salsa, and a pack of taco seasoning for 8ish hours on low. It will fall right apart. I eat it alone with a little cheese and some low fat sour cream but my husband eats it on a tortilla or on nachos.

Jars of salsa, seasoning, etc all contain sugar! Tortilla/Nachos are just plain ol carbs again! Rather pointless undergoing surgery and still consuming sugars no?

Taco seasoning as no sugar and 3 carbs per serving. You wouldn't even eat a whole service with this recipe, or you could leave the taco seasoning out. Salsa has 2 sugars and 2 carbs. As I said my husband eats his with a tortilla or chips. What do you eat? Plained boiled chicken 24/7?

It's almost impossible to avoid all sugars and wouldn't be healthy or even doable to avoid all carbs. You do what you want to do, but this isn't a chocolate chip cookie recipe, it's a healthy, easy, almost pure Protein.

This initially was the recipe I started with http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/turkey-chili-recipe3.html I however did add extra tomatoes (second canned drained) and I added a can of chili Beans and more onions and bell pepper. I think I also used more chili powder and Tabasco. All in all it was fantastic!

Nope - don't eat plain boiled chicken 24/7 - make my own sauces at home instead of pouring them out of a bottle! Takes maybe 30 mins more of your time in the kitchen!

Tacos/Nachos are a complete and strict no no!

It's not impossible to go sugar free - you need to want to do it! And that is how I've lost 101 pounds in 5 months! Cheers!

Most people don't have time to make their own sauces. I often do crock pot chicken Cooked with salsa, I shred it up and eat it on salads all week. I feel it's important to eat a balanced diet. Sugar and carbs included (complex) in moderation of course. Congrats on you for your loss. Different strokes for different folks. because I still consume a smidge of sugar doesn't mean I am not worthy of the surgery or that my surgery is a "waste". I eat anything I want in moderation. This isn't a diet and I refuse to obsess over and be consumed by what I am eating. I just am overwhelmed by your audacity to criticize someone using taco seasoning. I literally LOL'd. Cheers!

exactly! This group is about supporting each other, everyone is different and we should embrace that. What works for one may not work for another. Congrats on everyone's weight loss, be it 100lbs or 10!! Keep it positive, and remember we all lose at our own pace,some have more to lose than others but we are all in this together.

I want to be able to eat normal, healthy foods and still have treats, etc in moderation. It's not about denying yourself all previously eaten foods. Went out tonight with my husband and friends for Japanese. I had a kids shrimp hibachi dinner, no rice or noodles, just shrimp and the veggies. I had a few bits of my hubby's salad with ginger dressing. It was delicious and I brought enough home for lunch tomorrow. I've lost almost 90 pounds in 6 months and less than 10 lbs from my goal. I'm very happy with my progress and proud that I can go out and find things that I can eat and still feel like a normal person. It's tough to not be able to go out with friends and family in there beginning. I do my research before I go out so I know that there are things available for me to eat and enjoy.
