meats like chicken that tend to be dry can hard. In addition to Kristen's suggestions, I usually have something to dip it in for added moistness. Plain old yellow mustard is super low cal/low carb. Or I'll take some plain nonfat greek yogurt and add some herbs or spices to it, I've even mixed in a little pesto before. The moistness helps the meat go down and sit a little easier. Don't give up - it takes time to figure out what works for you.

Right before surgery i was obsessed with sricha ranch. I wonder if I can come up with a healthy version using greek yogurt when my time comes.

chicken parm is an awesome way to eat chicken. Just a tiny bit of sauce no fried chicken. ( bare) and a lot of cheese. All protien. My husband does this and he had the bypass. He would never want to eat fried food. He has lost 250lbs since sept 28 2015

I don't understand why so many ppl go back to their old lifestyle. You all did this for a reason, just remember that. I know a lady who had it done and is bigger than me before surgery

Google Avacado sauce substitute for Ranch. It's basically Greek yogurt and avocados and lemon, garlic and spices.

Alot of people have issues with chicken unless very moist or mixed with gravy, broth, etc. Someone talked about cooking chicken in crockpot with broth and shredding it when done (like pulled pork).

My hubby had that problem with chicken...until I made it in the crock pot. He ate it fine at 6wk post op.

I tried chicken every way also it still doesn't agree with me. I just gave up on it and other meats. I was revision from lapband to sleeve in August. Good luck!

I had one buffalo chicken tender cut into small pieces on a small salad today. I'm on my 9wk, this is the first breaded anything I've had. I don't think people are necessary throwing away all their progress or going back to their old unhealthy habits to have one treat of a piece of fried chicken. I don't think it's fair to judge them. I don't know how they eat all the other time or how much exercise they've done? Isn't it all about balance?

Hold on. I eat fried / Broasted chicken. But...

I remove the skin/breading before consuming. It is very tender cooked this way. Just need to remember to eat only the Protein. Not the carbs and grease peeps.

No. Depending upon the surgery and what you want out of it- eating breaded fried chicken makes absolutely NO SENSE.

See my above post- fried chicken is very moist- BUT TAKE THE BREADING OFF!

No WAY at 6.5 months out I'm touching that stuff- even considering I actually follow plan day to day.

I follow the program too...by the book. But my one breaded tender still stayed in my calories, carb and Protein program. I track my food consistently. It was a treat...if I did it every week, yea, that's a problem. But I think a treat once in a blue moon is a mood booster.

Sorry I will say it and stone me if you want treats got me my f@t @ss I am trying to rethink that or adopt changes. I could see at or near goal attempting a non flour breading. And I am not saying I have completely perfect but I am not accepting "normal" ways of eating. I have a new normal and I hope to stick to it and my exercise routine forever.

I applaud you. That's awesome how well you are doing. For me, and I'm doing well too, I just want to, once in a blue moon, enjoy food for taste while still staying in control. My downfall was not learning control, that got me in trouble. I feel really good knowing I can do this now. Food no longer controls me. My heart goes out to someone trying to eat tacos on day 5. They don't have control and obviously don't understand what they just put their bodies through.
