Hi there,

I get boneless skinless chicken thighs as they fall apart nicely and can be made into a lot of yummy dishes, but any kind of chicken can be used. Here's how I often cook: heat up a pan until it's really hot, add a little high-heat oil and brown the chicken well on both sides. Take it out and set aside for a minute (note it is not cooked yet, just browned) and use the pan to sauté whatever veggies you like. We cook with a lot of garlic, sometimes leeks are nice, ginger root if we're going Asian, etc. Be creative. Then add the chicken back in and cover with chicken stock. Instead of the stock (or in addition to it) you can add a can of coconut milk if you'd like to have a delicious ginger coconut chicken dish, or add in a jar of peanut sauce, etc. White wine and herbs, a little butter. You get the idea. We are not eating very much of anything so why not make it delicious? Sometimes I do a curry. Simply add the curry spices at the time you are sauteing the veggies (curry likes a lot of onions, etc., and carrots are yummy, leeks -- whatever you like -- for those who eat potatoes cube or slice them small and add them as well). Frozen peas work well. If you like a red sauce just open up a jar or two and cover the chicken with that. The key is to let it all simmer for a couple of hours until the chicken is really falling apart. We call our pot the Magic Blue Pot because whatever we cook in it is absolutely delicious. My family has the chicken on top of rice and I have my little bowl of just the chicken and sauce. Life is short; I want sauce.

I get thighs and put them in the crock pot Sprinkle with a packet of dry ranch and pour a jar of herdez green salsa over it. Cook for about 6 hours on low. Yum!

      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!!
