Finally something warm and good to eat



Recommended Posts

I'm 5 weeks post op . Today I took chicken breast boneless , 1 taco season pack and 1 jar of salsa and cooked in my crockpot for 6 hours and shredded the meat with a fork. It was so good with a little sour cream and shredded cheese ! Even though I could only eat 5 bites it was worth it . # chicken taco

Anyone else made anything good that wasn't a cold Protein Shake lol

A couple things I like are spaghetti sauce that i mix with lean ground turkey. I put a bit (2 tbsp) of low fat ricotta in the bottom of a small bowl, heated it up in the microwave, and then put 1/4 cup of the spaghetti sauce on top of the ricotta. Tastes like lasagna! :)

Also, if you like fish, take a piece of tilapia, and cook it in saute pan for 2 min (over medium heat) each side (spray pan with PAM Olive Oil), then pour 1/4-1/2 cup of salsa on top. Let it cook for an additional 5 min. DELISH!

Homemade chicken and veggie Soup is the best :-) after I eat I throw in egg noodles so the family has something to fill them up

Early out you may find that dark meat chicken is easier on your sleeve than white meat. I ate white meat for years, but since surgery, dark meat is my favorite, even after I could eat chicken breast meat again.

I'm 3 weeks post-op today and get to add baked or canned chicken and fish. What exactly is baked chicken? And if I have canned chicken, can I add relish?

@@browneyedgirl1981 - Baked chicken may come out too dry this early. If you have a crockpot - I would suggest cooking it in there. It's more moist and tender that way, and will be easier for you to eat and wont be as harsh on your tiny tummy. And I would imagine relish would be fine to add to your canned chicken. :)

Rotissiere chickens are great...remove skin...at almost all grocery stores...usually juicy, already prepared and ready to go!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
