cant eat chicken breast



Recommended Posts

The Crockpot is your friend. I can only eat chicken breast out of a crockpot because it's super moist. Otherwise, it has to be pretty much drenched in a sauce of some kind. My favorite crock pot recipe is breasts, some EVOO, and a packet of Italian dressing mix (or just use regular italian dressing). You can also make salsa chicken with salsa and chicken. Lots of things you can do in the crockpot with chicken and it comes out super moist! :)

That said, I still can only eat 2-3 oz. But I expect that to be my serving and am fine with that.

I had my surgery 12/19/15 and I still cannot eat no kind of chicken. I have tried fried, baked cooked in with Soup and as soon as the chicken hits my stomach, I have to run to the bathroom to vomit.

It's all in the technique. I poke 2 forkfuls into each chicken breast, then, I put them into gallon zip locks and pour Italian dressing or lemon pepper marinade. Let them refrigerate for 1-2 days. You can bake, grill or cook them on the stove. Very juicy and yummy!

After i take a knife and chop it up. Bite size pieces. Put it on salad make chicken salad whatever.

With what's left Ill make about 6 baggies for the week to eat for meals and Snacks.

Take it slow. Eat a few bites then walk away. It takes me about 30min-1hr to eat 1 breast. Which is why i take them to work and eat them right out the bags.

I grill boneless chicken breast every week and enjoy it as a basic staple in my post op living.

I vary the flavor by using different rubs.

I agree that it can be dry if overcooked......and unsafe if undercooked. The key is to remove it from the grill at the correct internal temp. I've found that 160 degrees is this temp...as far as I'm concerned.

If cooked properly.....it's one of the most sleeve-friendly foods I've encountered.

I could be persuaded to.

      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

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
