Yes and gizzards! But I am thinking those are too tough! I think I have given up - I am stuffed from lunch still.

What's a chicken liver?

Oh yeah, that's the slimy part of the bird that's in a baggie in the cavity with other slimy parts that gets directly given to the dogs to eat!!!

Seriously, KFC serves this? I'm in CA and I have never heard of such a thing. Is it like the In-and-out Burger secret menu?

Can't wait to rock (even if it's only a small portion) of a "Flying Dutchman" again. Yum!!!

I love chicken livers and KFC's are the best. They don't have them here in Cali, but I am from the midwest and used to eat them all the time!!

I would think that they would be really dry and since we can't drink while eating, that might be a problem!

Kelly I was thinking with some gravy - I agree they may be dry too but I was thinking a great source of Protein.< /p>

I love fried chicken livers and gizzards but I don't eat fried food anymore so it's a no-no for me. I've never heard of KFC selling them, though and they certainly don't sell them here in the Detroit area. They do have places here that do sell them, however. I would imagine it would be a good source of protein...BUT... the fat from frying them and the breading would outweigh the benefits to me. If they were broiled like the other person said it might not be too bad. But I would think it wouldn't taste as good, either. You know what I do when all I have are fast food choices and I need Protein is I go to McDonalds. They have a new grilled chicken sandwich and I order it without mayo and just throw away the bun and eat the rest. It's really yummy! I also eat Wendy's chili now and then for a treat. Good choice on the chili!

They sell chicken livers at KFC in the southern states, especially Mississippi and Alabama, where I am originally from. I have not tried here in San Antonio. I love them and gizzards too! You could only hold one or two anyway so I dont think it would hurt to have them occassionally.

I don't plan to do fried foods either but right now I am getting 200-300 calories a day and being threatened with a feeding tube if it doesn't turn around in 3 weeks. Believe it or not there isn't much breading on them and what there is I would brush off. I was considering a McD's chicken something, my daughter was at work there and it would have been so easy to text her and have her bring me one but chicken breasts don't sit well with me so far so I skipped it.

      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
