I'm having trouble getting any sort of meats down and need some ideas. So what are ya'll putting on your meats to moisten them up enough to go down without a pb? What's your favorite food lube?

LOL... Blossom... I love the title!

I usually don't have a problem if I cook meats in the crock pot. My favorite food lube would have to be gravy.

I'm counting on honey mustard dipping sauce for chicken and pork roast. It even makes cold leftover meat yummy, and is great on a sandwich, but I assume the bread will be a bygone by the time I get banded...hmmm, getting hungry, gonna go look for leftover grilled chicken...

Blossom, the only way I do chicken is like in a stir fry. I found that chicken breast are way too dry. I do a lot of fish, talapia, baked or blackened or grilled, and tuna. Then there's the old chili favorite. There's a new olive oil out that's suppose to be healthy for ya too. I'll get the name when I get home and edit this reply with the name.

I've just moved to solids and I am finding issues with some meat and needing a "lube."

Tillamook makes a lovely fat free sour cream, and I love all varieties of mustard, but some times mustard just isn't the right choice, nor is sour cream always the right choice.

I've seen all these new flavored mayos, but I haven't tried any of them. I'm thinking mayo=way to many calories. Since I prefer the fat free miricle whip, I thought I would mix up some miricle whip based lube.

Pat, my nutrishonist told me that olive oil is good for your heart as is. Helps raise the good cholesteral (not that I have to worry about my cholesteral levels...)

Too weird seeing a thread started by Blossom. It kind of caught me off guard.

I'd say that the Olive Oil and also Grapeseed Oil are both wonderful choices to help things slide down easier.

Yeah, I thought it was ... odd too.

I think one of the problems we face is finding a low-cal food lube...

If you have costco or priceclub close by, they have a mango salsa with peach in the fresh refridgerated section, by the guacamole. You can use in on shrimp, chicken, pork and any type of fish. Hot or cold it is a great food lube

I find that cold meats are much easier to eat than hot meats, for some reason. I often don't need any lube for my lunchmeat, if it's chicken or ham. If it's turkey I will need something, and I always go right for the mayo.

Hell, for the small amount I'm using it's worth it to use the real thing. Fake mayonnaise is repulsive.

I couldn't agree more Alex. (about the mayo thing)

I use salad dressing, like Ranch, it's easy to get and works fine for me.

hey girl,

sometimes it could be the cuts of meats your using...and how long you cook them for. A softer, less chewy type of chicken would be, boneless skinless chicken thighs..there very soft and taste really good, and becareful how long your cooking your food for, for chicken to be cooked all the way threw.it only have to be 140-160 degrees and if you cook it to long...its going to to be dryer then a popcorn fart in hell!

my favorite "food lube" is tomato sauce, anything tastes good with tomato sauce..hehe

good luck...

Kelly, the Blossom thread shocked me too, I sure hope nobody uses that name again.

I use the real Mayo too.

mmmmmm BBQ sauce. The tomato sauce idea sounds good too- or even the diced tomatos in tomato sauce. Man I'm so hungry now..... on day 2 of my pre-op *sigh*

I like Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ sauce mixed with ketsup.
