Hi there,

I am making chicken tonight for my family (chicken legs with skin using shake n bake) and I just hit the puree stage. Do you think I could eat a leg (minus the skin) if I just cut the chicken super duper small? I don't really wanna puree it. Or does anyone have any idea how I could eat the leg? Dark meat tends to be more moist so I think it's moist enough? Thanks!

I did that and just chewed really well. I figured it is the same thing as puree :)

Personally I wouldn't risk it. You may think that you chewed enough but not. pureed chicken is actually very good.

wouldn't risk it...you are so early out. I tried jumping from pureed to soft a little sooner then I should have and had a really bad vomiting episode. I hate baby food chicken but that is what my pouch liked. I am now starting week 6 and just easing into a little bit of ground beef.

If you puree the chicken it pretty much tastes the same as regular chicken, but if you choose to chew it make sure you masticate EXTREMELY well!

Good Luck!

I did it! I cut it off the bone into really small pieces and chewed and chewed and chewed! 2 hours later and no problems!! I think really it ended up being pureed by the time it hit my belly from all that chewing!! Man, it was hard taking all the skin off the chicken..I used to love that but I DEF know that would've caused problems!!! I'm so happy I was able to eat with my family instead of a shake! hah!!

I couldn't do the puree. It made me physically sick. So I just ate very soft things and chewed until there was hardly anything left of it and I did well. Keep up the good work!

      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.

        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.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
