any red meat steak or roast with some onion and garlic is good. just add a little Water and set on med for 5-6 hours. i put it on before i go to work and when i get home it is done!! so tender and juicy makes great left overs

whole chicken and turkey breast is good too. just do the same as above minus the onion. DELISH. can pick it off the bone and have pleanty of moist ready-to-go protein!

You can use a beef roast or stew meat. Brown meat in skillet. Add 1 bottle of red wine, then enought Water to cover the top. Add sage (1 tea), rosemary (1 tbl.) thyme (1 tea) and salt and some garlic powder. About 2 hours before you serve add some baby carrots and I add potatoes for the family. I take out my portion(s) and then reduce the liquid a bit and make gravy for the family. My family loves it. The meat absorbs enough of the flavor to make me happy too.

Directions

Place chicken in crock pot or casserole dish.

Mix all other ingredients in bowl and pour over chicken.

Cook in crock pot on low for about 6 hours, or bake in 375f oven for about 1 hour.

Does the Jim Beam sauce sit well in your tummy? I haven't had surgery and perhaps I am thinking about RNY.

Yes, everything except for lettuce and some breads, sits very well with me. But remember i am 21 months out. If I eat something that is a bit too sugary or fatty I do get a type of dumping syndrome as well. . . but yes it does sit with me very well

I have a roast in my crock pot at home right now! :-) Beef roast, small enough to fit in there (I have a smaller crock pot), can of beef broth, can of Ro-tel tomatoes, packet of dry onion Soup mix. Just threw it all in there and turned on low. Can't wait to enjoy tonight! We like to shred the meat and enjoy in different ways--my husband puts it on a salad, and I like it with extra cut-up fresh Tomato mixed in. Now that we're both sleeved, one small roast lasts us a LONG time with some left over for the freezer!

I have a large family (5 kids) so I throw whole pieces of meat in - no real recipes for that, but I wanted to point out that ham comes out fabulous in the crock pot. Don't use the spiral sliced or more expensive cuts, they dry out. The cheap butt hams with Water added are perfect. They have enough fat and Water to keep it moist, cooking all day, but it drains off.

Pork loin with balsamic and dijon is tasty.

Chuck roast (pot roast) with a jar of pepperoncinis (sliced) and the juice, a few cloves of garlic and some beef broth or a lipton onion Soup mix. Cook all day and shred. Put on a bun and melt cheese on top. Serve french dip style with a side of the juice. I eat it minus the bun, but this is an easy crowd pleaser.

bone in pork chops cooked with a jar of salsa, a can of black Beans and a can of corn, salt and pepper to taste. It is not half as good if you don't use the chops on the bone. The meat comes out tender and tasty, and the veggie mix makes a nice side dish. You can skip it if you're carb concious, but it still works as a family meal we can eat too.

Put some veggies on the bottom (I use potatoes and carrots typically but any will work) Put a put a whole chicken on top and season to taste. Cook all day. I will often put onions or lemon peels inside the chicken cavity to help flavor it.

Put a whole pork loin of beef roast in with a little BBQ Sauce and a bit of water. The water is so the bbq sauce doesn't burn, but you wont need much. Cook all day and shred for bbq pulled pork or pulled beef. I let the family add more sauce on theirs, but I don't use much in the crock pot, just a little for flavoring the meat, so it's not carb heavy. You can add a little liquid smoke (a little goes a long way) for that bbq flavor as well.

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL
