how to get meats to go down okay



Recommended Posts

I need input on how others cook meats, so that they don't get stuck. I have 7ccs fill and can't eat bread plus many other things. I'm thinking I need to put chicken broth or sauces on everything. Any help with this is appreciated.

Use moist cooking methods rather than dry cooking methods. Stew, casserole etc goes down far easier than grilled or fried. Use sauces, gravies. Don't overcook. Eat chicken thigh rather than chicken breast as it is moister. Avoid reheated meats as they can cause problems.

Cook your meats in a crockpot, add some cream of chicken or other cream base Soup or sauce or gravy. It will be very tender and will go down so much easier. I use the crockpot for most of my meals now!

Thanks for your replies! I guess I'm going to have to get a Crockpot. I know it makes meats moister. I'm used to eating chicken breasts that I would grill (before band), but that isn't working anymore. I will get a crockpot tomorrow. :) thanks again. Gail

. Thanks Elsie for your reply. I'm going to apply your ways this week. The dry/grilled isn't working. Thanks again. Gail

You may also consider eating fish instead of chicken and alternate sources of Protein like Beans, tofu, etc.

Vegetarian options of meat often go down easier than actual meat.< /p>

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
