My doc says chicken is one of the best things to eat, has your doc told you different? Sometimes my band doesn't like the chicken, especially if it is dry or if it has breading on it, but usually I do fine with chicken as long as I don't over-do it because it is definitly a gauged food for me....

My hubby BBQ's almost everyday! I don't always eat what he makes, but most of the time I can. Make sure that the chicken, steak, pork chop or whatever you BBQ is moist (I usually put BBQ Sauce on chicken), dip my steak in salsa or horseradish and pork chop in salsa. Don't overcook the meat.

You should be able to eat everything in moderation. There's really nothing I can't eat (don't do really well with pizza crust or pancakes, however). Try a couple bites of whatever you cook, wait a few minutes and see how it feels. If it feels fine, keep going. Eat really slowly. It takes 20 minutes for the brain to register when you've had enuf. If you eat faster, you run the risk of eating too much and then you WILL pay for it (either pain or vomiting, or both)

Happy BBQ'ing!

hub and me cook out at least 6 days a week

we eat chicken and beef.....nothing like smelling food on a grill

i advise to eat slow.. eat your allotted amounts and eat what you like, good quality foods and enjoy..dont over think it...food.. summer, friends, bbq'ing is meant to be enjoyed

We marinade what we put on the grill and ensure that it comes out moist... we've had several cookouts already this year!

      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.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
