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!

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      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.
