Steamed Chicken



Recommended Posts

Question for everyone. A lot of times I am on the road for hours working. My question is that in times when I do not have a chance to go home and have a meal would steamed chicken be ok from a Chinese restaurant? I know of course no sauce but wonder what everyone’s option is on this. Would imagine it would be ok but just curious.

as long as you've been cleared for solid foods and as long as you can tolerate chicken, yes. Some people have a hard time with chicken the first few weeks or months.

Yep. Make sure they don't "velvet" it with a slurry of cornstarch. But steamed fish, chicken, shrimp were my go-tos in the early days at restaurants!!

Just checking, but according to your side profile you were sleeved 10 days ago? Has your team cleared you for solid foods?

P.S. At 10 days post op I was just carrying around Protein Powder and a shaker bottle in my purse...

try the egg drop Soup first. If I was just starting on solid Proteins, and had to eat steamed chicken from a Chinese take out, I would get the egg drop soup to moisten each bite really well. But be sure you are cleared for chicken first.

Once you are on solids it might be fine BUT like others have said try it at home first. I remember reading here about people struggling with chicken and I was like 'ooh weird, I won't though'. :rolleyes:

You guessed it the first time I had chicken breast it got stuck, 2nd time it got stuck and that was chewing it to nothing with gravy so I then decided to try thigh meat instead and it was fine.

Always try new foods at home first tho coz you don't want to be ill when you are out working :)

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
