chicken wing..is there Protein in a chicken wing or mostly skin. I would stick to Proteins that can add protein grams to your diet.. Chicken wings is mostly pure fat.

What? I think there is more fat in wing meat than in breast meat. But breast meat is a lot drier and my surgeon even told me to eat dark meat first.

Good for you. Isn't it funny how such a small amount of food likes an accomplishment?

I spent good money at whole foods to make sure my wings are not full of fat & steroids, lol my wings average 10-12 grams per wing. & i don't eat the skin.. ;)

My surgeon also warned me to stay away from breast meat for the first 6 months bc it tends to be dry & may cause pouch distress. I don't eat dark meat, never have, so the wing is all that I am left with LOL. My family & I have recently switched to Organic meat & I must say it tastes AMAZING!! Or maybe I was just starving :)

Are you kidding me lol...A debate over a chicken wing and not a brownie. Oh we have to start somewhere ladies and if it is a chicken wing then so be it...eating normally is a great accomplishment in this program. Increasing real food intake is imperative to good health.

I am sure that she will not eat only chicken wings for the rest of her life...I have been known to put down a wing or two myself once in a while. They are darn tasty!

18 months after surgery I still cannot eat beef, pork or chicken breasts and tuna makes me gag. If it wasn't for dark chicken meat I would be living on cheese and eggs...Or the like... @@Carlotta1 . It is a learning curve to see what you can and cannot tolerate. At this state in the game a chicken wing is good news...However a brownie would have been something for her to worry about! :)

Wings and thighs are dark meat. I prefer the thighs. As for chicken breasts I can understand then coming out dry. However, a couple of years ago I decided to brine a turkey. Turkey breats were alway dry, but using a brine before cooking the entire bird comes out very moist. Has anyone tried brining a chicken or pork? A good dry cure on beef helps make it tender.

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

        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!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
