LOL... Blossom... I love the title!

I usually don't have a problem if I cook meats in the crock pot. My favorite food lube would have to be gravy. :)

I'm counting on honey mustard dipping sauce for chicken and pork roast. It even makes cold leftover meat yummy, and is great on a sandwich, but I assume the bread will be a bygone by the time I get banded...hmmm, getting hungry, gonna go look for leftover grilled chicken...

Blossom, the only way I do chicken is like in a stir fry. I found that chicken breast are way too dry. I do a lot of fish, talapia, baked or blackened or grilled, and tuna. Then there's the old chili favorite. There's a new olive oil out that's suppose to be healthy for ya too. I'll get the name when I get home and edit this reply with the name.

I've just moved to solids and I am finding issues with some meat and needing a "lube."

Tillamook makes a lovely fat free sour cream, and I love all varieties of mustard, but some times mustard just isn't the right choice, nor is sour cream always the right choice.

I've seen all these new flavored mayos, but I haven't tried any of them. I'm thinking mayo=way to many calories. Since I prefer the fat free miricle whip, I thought I would mix up some miricle whip based lube.

Pat, my nutrishonist told me that olive oil is good for your heart as is. Helps raise the good cholesteral (not that I have to worry about my cholesteral levels...)

Too weird seeing a thread started by Blossom. It kind of caught me off guard.

I'd say that the Olive Oil and also Grapeseed Oil are both wonderful choices to help things slide down easier.

If you have costco or priceclub close by, they have a mango salsa with peach in the fresh refridgerated section, by the guacamole. You can use in on shrimp, chicken, pork and any type of fish. Hot or cold it is a great food lube

I find that cold meats are much easier to eat than hot meats, for some reason. I often don't need any lube for my lunchmeat, if it's chicken or ham. If it's turkey I will need something, and I always go right for the mayo.< /p>

Hell, for the small amount I'm using it's worth it to use the real thing. Fake Mayonnaise is repulsive.

hey girl,

sometimes it could be the cuts of meats your using...and how long you cook them for. A softer, less chewy type of chicken would be, boneless skinless chicken thighs..there very soft and taste really good, and becareful how long your cooking your food for, for chicken to be cooked all the way threw.it only have to be 140-160 degrees and if you cook it to long...its going to to be dryer then a popcorn fart in hell!

my favorite "food lube" is Tomato sauce, anything tastes good with tomato sauce..hehe

good luck...

mmmmmm BBQ Sauce. The Tomato sauce idea sounds good too- or even the diced tomatos in tomato sauce. Man I'm so hungry now..... on day 2 of my pre-op *sigh*

      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!
