Chicken for lunches



Recommended Posts

I made roasted chicken for lunches this week. I'm proud of myself because before I started this WLS Journey, I would have made stuffing with the chicken and eaten that more than anything! I skipped the stuffing this time. Apples and Onions are stuffed in them to add some flavor and basted with apple cider. I'll make a few lunches and a big Soup and still have some left for the dogs. post-287902-14736326065126_thumb.jpg

That chicken looks good. You haven't had surgery yet have you?

So we have this store called Costco' where I can buy hot, fresh rotisserie chickens for $5.

Yours look delicious but I'm too lazy to make my own!

I usually buy them made too! ????. They were 99¢ a pound and I had nothing else to do (or that I wanted to do)!

Great job! Looks yummy.

After reading the thread about food funerals, it's nice to see someone who is honestly ready to embrace the changes this surgery requires even before they've had the surgery. I have no doubt when you finally get a date you're going to rock it!

Oh my gawd, riiiiight? Healthy, smart, protein' rich choices. It's such a bizarre concept on this forum nowadays.

Yum!!! I always cook two-three birds side by side at a time. Easier, time efficient and when Son #1 is home, we go through 2 birds for a dinner. I miss that boy...

That is my theory when I fire up the smoker. Fill it up and freeze what we won't eat right away.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
