How much fried chicken would you even eat? I'm of the theory that one bite would be okay. Before the surgery it might have been three pieces....but one bite? I would get my fix, accept the calories/carbs for it, and move on. I'm 12 weeks out and have followed most rules, but have had a stray a few times. I log it in, and move on. Accept responsibility for it. Or find a substitute. I've also found that once I have it... the urge is really gone to have it again. I suppose we are all different.

One bite would do it for me! Just as you I would track it and keep it moving.

How about,

Healthy Oven Fried chicken Tenders

Submitted by: MANDI_CAN

Introduction

We prefer these over FRIED! Soooo delicious, and easy too!!!!

Minutes to Prepare: 15

Minutes to Cook: 20

Number of Servings: 3

Ingredients

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 cup skim milk

2 cups corn flakes Cereal

seasoned salt (optional)

garlic salt (optional)

Preheat oven to 350. Crush cornflakes (I use my food processor) until broken into tiny pea-size and smaller pieces. Place crumbs in large bowl with lid (Crumbs get moist and don't stick well if you dip one piece of chicken at a time). Cut chicken into strips and dip in milk; place half of dipped chicken in bowl of crumbs. shake well to cover; repeat with other half of chicken. Spray baking sheet with cooking spray and place chicken in pan. If you like extra crunchy chicken you can re dip them in the crumbs. Sprinkle with seasonings if desired. Cook 20-25 minutes...or until inside of tenders are white.

Your right about the one bite satisfying the urge thing. I mean I have completely cut out sweets juices fatty meats like sausage bacon certain types of steaks. But sometimes I get weak. We all do. Im human.

Good! i like the cereal bit because its a little decadent :D I wonder if it would be better on your system too! Since you've cut out all greasy type foods (meats) already?

I'm six months out and about a month ago I had a little bit of a carls junior "low carb" burger (no bun) and hello! The bathroom and I became inseparable the next few days :P

Just have the chicken. You'll only be able to have a couple of bites anyway before reality sets in. The heaviness of fried foods becomes very apparent after you haven't had them in a while. I got the chicken for the rest of the family ( sale at KFC- my boys love it) and I knew when I was driving to get it that I would definitely have some. Took a small piece and started eating it. 2 bites later i say to myself "Oh. Perhaps this wasn't a good idea since I now feel nauseous and am contemplating puking"..

I haven't had the urge to eat fried chicken since then. Honestly, I have done the same with every food I have wanted post op. I got it, I ate it. For the most part it only takes one time of indulging in the forbidden foods for me to decide it was a bad choice.

Now the candy - that's another story. I can eat a lot of it and not feel bad at all. Go figure. So now I have to monitor the candy intake. Yippie.

Sharon I love you girl! So you think she should eat it so it will make her sick? Hehehe... so like aversion therapy?

Oh and when you get further out you will be able to eat anything again, so I wouldn't worry to much about giving up the KFC (see I told you guys there was a deal going on :P) you will be able to eat it again in time :D

      It's been 10 long years! Here is my VSG weight loss surgiversary update..

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      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
