chicken is very rough for me. Hamburger meat, especially if it's a patty. Meatloaf is better, but not great. bread is murder, unless it's toasted to the point of being petrified.

My husband has a recipe for chicken baked in 98% fat free cream of chicken Soup ... thinking it might be a bit easier to get down. Hope so ... I love the taste of chicken.

It's been 5 days since my second fill. I got sick for the first time on flounder and broccoli. I thought I was going to die. I almost couldn't breathe. Was it the fish or broccoli.....I can't go through that again......

I don't know if anyone wants to try this, but I figured it may help chicken lovers. I love chicken so I'll be hard to not be able to eat it. I see that alot of people have problems with it. If you take any chicken part, season it with salt and pepper (helps retain moisture it the flesh, just like us humans), then sear it in olive oil (locks in moisture), and bake or sautee slowly (covered) in any kind of sauce untill the meat falls apart. It will work for even white meat (which I love). This tecnique is gauranteed to deliver the most succulent, moist, juicy meat.... just a suggestion. I hope it helps.

Hi Guy,s

I,m just enquiring can you ( not should you ) eat Duck, like roasted or in some type of Asian foods, its usually fatty and not as dry.

If you have the patience to cook duck and do it right then you deserve the right to eat it. I'm hopeless with duck but I think I'll give it a try again because trying to get chicken down isn't working.

chicken, no matter what color or how it is prepared gets stuck. I was told no Pasta, rice, bread, crackers, pizza, hamburger or pork. Fish works well and I eat a lot of veggies. I feel like I am growing fins.

It's so funny to read the messages here, because for the last 10 days after my 2nd fill, I haven't been able to eat any meat, bread or fish. Everything goes down and then oopps it is stuck. Crap, now I try to make it slide down but, nope it's coming back up, yikes. I've been thinking, I must need an unfill or something, is this even normal?? I called my doc's nurse and she said, if I continued to be able to eat other Proteins then it would be ok, but they want you to be able to eat meats to help the band work harder. I guess I'm gonna wait for a few more days and see what happens, I'm getting a bit of my reflux back which sucks. It's so wonderful to go here and read everyones thoughts and accomplishments. I am down from 237 to 222 since being banded 8/28. Slowly but surely!!!

No bread, no donuts, no soda. All these make me throw up and makes my chest hurt before throwing up. I can eat a slice of pizza or tortillas, crackers, cake with no problem.

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
