Thanks! For salsa chicken I put about 6 chicken breasts, 1 bottle of salsa, 1 can corn, and 1 can of black or kidney beans into a crockpot and cook on low for 6-7 hours or high for 3-4 hours. Pretty easy. VERY filling, like comfort food. After it's cooked I portion it out into bandster portions and suck 'n seal 'em. When I get ready to eat I just boil it straight in the suck 'n seal bags. Pretty easy and quick and tastes just like the day I made it. The cranberry chicken is actually my absolute favorite chicken recipe, but the salsa chicken is right up there, too.

OMG... that sounds absolutely delicious!!!!:first:

I sure could use that cranberry chicken recipe

Kee, are you banded yet? If not, do you have a date? Just wondering what your story is. Keep going for it! You can do the healthy food, you know it!

Okay, cranberry chicken's also a crockpot recipe. I gotta use those crockpot liners because I got sick of cleaning my crockpot all the time LOL.

Here goes: Take 6-8 chicken breasts, 1 can cranberries (not jellied), 1/2 bottle (or 8 oz) of creamy French dressing (I like Kraft version), and 1 package of onion soup mix. Cook for 3-4 hours on high or 6-7 hours on low. SOOOO good! Oh yeah, and don't add water or extra dressing or anything. You'll think it's too thick at first but it's really not once it gets warmed up.

Thanks puddin. :eek: I printed out both of these and I will be attempting the cranberry chicken this weekend.:hungry:

Unfortunately I am not banded yet...:eek: I just went for my initial eval with the surgeon last Wednesday. Yes, I know, I am the black sheep around here. :frusty: But one day, I will get me a spine.. and develop the courage to fight these bad habits...:fencing:

OT: Answer your pm:hurt

Why wait? Seriously, I know you know this but I'm going to say it anyway: The key to weight loss is planning, not will power! So maybe you could predict your cravings and plan accordingly. For example, I noticed you really like that Indian buffet place. Maybe you could make a whole bunch of your favorite Indian food, freeze it, and then thaw it in the refrigerator the night before you're going to eat it so you have it ready for lunch. I know I always get hungry mid-afternoon so I have a bunch of raw almonds on hand all the time and ALWAYS have grapes in the fridge at work. I get the sweet cravings mid-morning so I usually have a chocolate strawberry (just melt a Newman's organic dark chocolate bar in the microwave and then dip a bunch of strawberries in it and refrigerate them for the week). I have ZERO willpower so the band has helped me with that, but the rest of it has been planning, seriously. So get to it, girl! I know you can do it and so do you!

Amen!! It really does come down to planning for me too. If I'm left without planning a meal...I end up eating whatever.

Kee- for real, for me once I met with Dr. Moazzez everything got real for me. All I have been doing is straight up protein (as lean as I can stand) :eek: , and LOTS of water, 1-2 salads a day with lots of meat goodies (chicken breast, cheese, boiled egg, and low carb salad dressing). I also always drink my breakfast (unjury protein). Been moving a bit more, but not yet everyday, but it's coming. Not yet in boxing..it is brutal--:faint: have to work my way there, that is my goal.

Thanks guys for the well wishes!

I'll have an answer from my insurance company TOMORROW!!!! NEED PRAYERS :grouphug:
