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.

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.< /p>

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

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...

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'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? 🤷‍♀️
