Hi guys! I was just wondering if anyone has tried any type of fried food or hot wings after surgery.I know it's bad for you and I don't miss fried foods so much, but buffalo wings were my absolute favorite and I'm wondering will I have to say goodbye to them forever :0(

If you have tried these, how long after surgery and how did they make you feel?

I eat hotwings at least once a week. High on protein and you cna eat a few of them so they come in little servings. I can eat fried foods but they made me feel sick early out.

The deep fried might be are early on. Otherwise, I know I'm gonna go for it once I can!

I tried 2 grilled buffalo wings for the first time on week 7. They were not hot or breaded. However I have read here that lots of people do not have trouble with spicy foods. It hurt at first because I forgot to slow down and chew. After I paused, it went down well.

Yes!!! This makes me so happy (sad I know lol)! At least I know i won't have to feel deprived from my fave food.

We used to go to Buffalo Wild Wings (pre-op) once a week. I loved that place! I imagine the chicken is good, but the sauces may not be so good. I'll have to check the nutrition facts. Can't wait though!!

I have had wings twice since surgery and i am out 5 weeks. The first time was week 3.5 and they were little caesars which were terrible, they also hurt going down. The second time i ate wings i made sure to chew more and had no issues.

I've had wings here and there. It's not really diet friendly, but I only eat 2-3 of them so I can still fit them in my daily plan.

I had grilled hot wings dipped in a little ranch dressing....no problems at all----could only eat 3 pieces, but that was fine----that was at about 6 weeks out. I'm not eating meats during the month of January---but you better believe I will have my wings for Super Bowl! Blessings2u--BJ

I have BW3 occasionally - they are higher in fat/calories than I would like on my food plan, but it's an OK splurge every once in a while. They are high in Protein, which is a plus. I would agree with the previous posters that a better choice might be to buy fresh wings and bake or grill them rather than eat them fried. Some of the bottled sauces may be a little high in carbs but otherwise probably not too bad.

A lot of fried foods do make my stomach pretty upset (like onion rings, etc.) so I have avoided them for the most part. Not a bad problem to have given that most fried foods are really not friendly on a sleeve diet anyway!

Oh, if you're craving chicken wings post-op (during the purees/mushy phases, for example) check out the buffalo chicken dip recipe on this forum that I posted - it is seriously delicious, I have a pan of it in my fridge and often have a 1/4 cup of it with a few reduced-fat wheat thins as a snack that is pretty high in protein.

I don't do spicy, but I have had chicken wings. I generally eat them with a little BBQ sauce or teriyaki sauce because if they are "wet" they seem to go down better. I can only eat a couple at a time though.

good to know - garlic parm wings from wingstop are my favorite thing

Pre-op, chicken wings were probably my favorite food. But for some reason I can't eat them now, or dark meat chicken of any sort. All I taste is the fat and grease and they're just not good to me.

I'll probably get slammed for this but whatever, no food is forbidden ever. . . it's how you use that food to your advantage. If you over indulge, well you'll gain weight of course. . . moderation is the key and as someone who is out going into my 3rd year, I have hit my doctors goal, surpassed it, and am maintaining beautifully. I eat my 3 meals a day with healthy snacks and yes on the occasion i do indulge in yummies. I'm livin my life now and totally lovin it! Good luck !

You took the words right outta my mouth! Its about control. We're doing this to gain control! Forbidding something just makes you want it more. What will limit us on what types of food we can eat when we are fully healed is what our new bananas can handle. Pre-op, I love onions but raw onions do not like me back. I can't eat them - I get horrible stomach pains and nausea. So I don't eat them. It'll be the same after surgery - whatever doesn't love me, I just won't eat. Whatever does love me, I will eat within accpetable amounts and portions.
