Steamed Chicken



Recommended Posts

Question for everyone. A lot of times I am on the road for hours working. My question is that in times when I do not have a chance to go home and have a meal would steamed chicken be ok from a Chinese restaurant? I know of course no sauce but wonder what everyone’s option is on this. Would imagine it would be ok but just curious.

as long as you've been cleared for solid foods and as long as you can tolerate chicken, yes. Some people have a hard time with chicken the first few weeks or months.

Yep. Make sure they don't "velvet" it with a slurry of cornstarch. But steamed fish, chicken, shrimp were my go-tos in the early days at restaurants!!

Just checking, but according to your side profile you were sleeved 10 days ago? Has your team cleared you for solid foods?

P.S. At 10 days post op I was just carrying around Protein Powder and a shaker bottle in my purse...

try the egg drop Soup first. If I was just starting on solid Proteins, and had to eat steamed chicken from a Chinese take out, I would get the egg drop soup to moisten each bite really well. But be sure you are cleared for chicken first.

Once you are on solids it might be fine BUT like others have said try it at home first. I remember reading here about people struggling with chicken and I was like 'ooh weird, I won't though'. :rolleyes:

You guessed it the first time I had chicken breast it got stuck, 2nd time it got stuck and that was chewing it to nothing with gravy so I then decided to try thigh meat instead and it was fine.

Always try new foods at home first tho coz you don't want to be ill when you are out working :)

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
