Recommended Posts

I just had to share an AMAZING food find that I think other bandsters would LOVE!!

This weekend we were at Super Wal-Mart in the Deli section and saw a case of prepared meats from Hormel. There was pork, beef tips, roast, chicken & turkey. I chose the chicken in gravy. The food is fresh, not frozen. There are 3 breasts in each package. Including gravy, each serving is only 120 calories and 20+ grams of protein!!!

It takes less than a minute to cook, and...get ready for this....it is SUPER INCREDIBLY MOIST and DELICIOUS!!! I went back and bought every last package of chicken breast they had!!! The price was only $4.98!

I've never had a problem eating chicken, but for those that have, this is for you!! It is BY FAR the MOST TENDER and delicious chicken breast I've ever had! The gravy is delicious and could help those who have had problems getting chicken down without stuck episodes.

I hope this helps someone, I'm THRILLED I've found something so quick, easy and Bandster friendly...just had to share!

My grocery store has whole rotissiere chickens for $4.99. I buy one every week and use it in various ways (all with the skin removed). One of the ways is to chop and mix the chicken with fat free gravy - so it's probably similar to what you're eating. Yes, it is good - and moist. And low in fat. Enjoy!!

You're welcome!!

As an update, I've eaten one chicken breast about every 3 hours (so easy to do now) and I'm down nearly 5lbs in the last 2 weeks! I am NOT at ALL tired of the chicken, it truly is delicious! I bought 8 packages, and am off this weekend to find more (the date on mine is Jan 10 2010) so I need to stockpile!

Enjoy!

Gonna have to check this out. I have to be careful with chicken. Rotisserie chicken gets stuck for me yet grilled chicken goes down great. Go figure!

Thank you for sharing this info, I went looking for it and found it!! We ate the beef straganoff one the other night, LOVED IT! So easy and quick. Only thing is the sodium, may not want to do that one often :blushing:

I will have to try it. I got stuck with a bite of chicken the other day. It was my first really bad episode of getting stuck. That is a really good reminder of what not to try to chow to quickly on!

Thanks, I'll have to give these a try. Their website nutrition facts aren't really good (under serving size it says 'varies'), but given the calories/protein you gave the chicken has 1070 mg of sodium/sv....yikes!!! But some of the other ones are half that.

If you really like the Hormel foods from Walmart, call the 1-800-Walmart number and let them know to keep stocking it. They are bad about carrying things for awhile and then not carrying them.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
