Hot wings! I'm 21 days out and on mushy soft food. Anyone have any suggestions to get somewhat close to wings or am I just gonna have to tough this one out?

Choices like that Krysten, are what made us fat. No one loved wings better than me and my husband. We do not eat like that anymore because we so not want to go back to that place in life. Please redirect your focus and try different recipes!!!! Hugs and inspiration your way!

That's what I was asking for if anyone had any healthy recipes that tasted some what like that that was healthy and allowed in the mushy soft food diet. Just because I've given up food doesn't mean I shouldn't be able to have a healthy version that taste good.. That's just my opinion.

I love experimenting with recipes. Not doing much cooking yet though, just so much easier for me and my husband to grab what we like and what is habdy. I love winter Soups the these freezing nights.

I too loved wings. A place near me bakes them and they're skinless. On another note, google buffalo chicken chili. It's delicious.

I I don't agree that just because you're on the path to better health and weight loss that you can't enjoy food .....food is not going away and it is something that we have to contemplate every time we open our mouths.....we have social events, family events, religious events and we need to be able to work with it and through it .... We are overweight because we like food and want to make healthier choices so we need a way to find how to make healthier choices out of what we enjoy....I see no problem with this.....

I make Buffalo chicken Dip for parties. Here's a link to a recipe. (http://m.allrecipes.com/recipe/68461/buffalo-chicken-dip) I would suggest using lower fat or fat-free cheeses (not sure if fat-free cream cheese melts), and I would choose a lower calorie ranch or make the ranch dressing myself with fat-free sour cream and dry Ranch powder. This is a very cheesy dip, so perhaps you could modify and use these ingredients/flavors just to season your chicken instead of truly making it like a dip.

As a word of caution: I tried habanero hot sauce on my soft foods last week, so a little over three weeks out. It felt okay hitting my baby sleeve, but it immediately went through me, and wasn't at all pleasant making it's exit. Im waiting a few more weeks to try again (5 weeks out tomorrow.). That said: Be careful with the hot sauce!

      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!!
