male only What's the most difficult thing for you

[Jack74 3]

I am 4 weeks out and have lost 65 pounds. My most difficult thing is getting all the Protein in that I need and getting solids down like baked chicken

I think getting my Water in is the most difficult thing. I do OK on the protein.. Congrats on your loss, that's a huge amount of weight to lose in 4 weeks.

Getting all my liquids in; still only at 32-40 oz. a day. I have no problem eating chicken, put it in the crock pot with some Soup or chicken broth & taco seasoning if you like spicy; it'll be very tender and the tummy may like it better. Good luck, and great job on the loss.

I am still not able to eat steak. Well, I do TRY but it just doesn't seem to digest very well. Thank goodness there are other options. When I cook chicken breast, I always use a digital thermometer to let me know when the internal temp is 160. (The temp will still rise a little after that.) This is the easiest way to cook a breast so that it is super moist. I've done the crockpot method, but it seems to get "stringy" to me.

64 pounds in 4 weeks?! WOW! Congrats!

I would definitely say getting in all my liquids is really hard. And not drinking after meals or even with them is still a huge issue for me 4 weeks post op. I'll get the hang of it eventually.

As for the baked chicken, maybe you should try pureeing it until you can try again at week 6. Or what about canned chicken? That's softer and mushier!

i have trouble w/ Portion Control or not stopping when I am approaching satisfied. My mind set is still with the clean plate club. There are starving children you know (lol). I just need to think of food differently now.

Getting those 64oz of Water in, definitely! Ugh.
