Chicken for lunches



Recommended Posts

I made roasted chicken for lunches this week. I'm proud of myself because before I started this WLS Journey, I would have made stuffing with the chicken and eaten that more than anything! I skipped the stuffing this time. Apples and Onions are stuffed in them to add some flavor and basted with apple cider. I'll make a few lunches and a big Soup and still have some left for the dogs. post-287902-14736326065126_thumb.jpg

That chicken looks good. You haven't had surgery yet have you?

So we have this store called Costco' where I can buy hot, fresh rotisserie chickens for $5.

Yours look delicious but I'm too lazy to make my own!

I usually buy them made too! ????. They were 99¢ a pound and I had nothing else to do (or that I wanted to do)!

Great job! Looks yummy.

After reading the thread about food funerals, it's nice to see someone who is honestly ready to embrace the changes this surgery requires even before they've had the surgery. I have no doubt when you finally get a date you're going to rock it!

Oh my gawd, riiiiight? Healthy, smart, protein' rich choices. It's such a bizarre concept on this forum nowadays.

Yum!!! I always cook two-three birds side by side at a time. Easier, time efficient and when Son #1 is home, we go through 2 birds for a dinner. I miss that boy...

That is my theory when I fire up the smoker. Fill it up and freeze what we won't eat right away.

      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!
