I used to dry fry my chicken with some paprika and cayenne and black pepper, with lemon juice squeezed on when served. I liked it!

Wls yeah it's high protein, low carbx

well thats what i was on. For breakfast i had things like bacon and poached eggs, yummy
Ihad chicken or tuna salads all the time, with just a small amount of low fat dressing. I hate slimfast but i found the asda ones ok, they're called measure up. Can you get hold of protein shakes? i couldnt afford them, but you can get samples at www.thegoodwheyco.co.uk i think thats the address lol just try to vary it honey, you'll be fine xxx

How did u cook the chicken? Last night I put it in the slow cooker with veg and stock and it wasn't nice? X

 

[Kizzy70]

You can even cook the chicken in the oven with a bit of lemon juice salt and pepper wrapped in tin foil. I used to steam my chicken and had green veg with it and then done an oxo, but didn't add too much boiled water so it tasted beefier

Good luck

This is the problem I am facing I am going shopping for my pre op food on Thursday and starting it Sunday, breakfast I was going to have a whole pink grapefruit black tea. Water in between meals. Lunch boiled egg salad, and dinner grilled chicken (purchased from morrissons) with salad or veg and snacks sf jellies would this be ok?
But I tried baking a chicken fillet in the oven with silver foil like you would roast it and it wa very dry and not very tasty, can you use those cook in the bag things with seasoning or are they too fatty?

Thanks Ali
And good luck all.

 

[kirstyd]

I don't know Alison really just want to b told wat to do lol I normally pan fry chicken or stir fry it! But it's the whole no sauce thing. And as for herbs n spices I don't know how to do that lol xx

 

[Caren]

I boil my chicken, all the fat comes out and its lovely and moist. I ate lots of babybell lights. You can eat anything really, just avoid fat, rice and potatoes, i ate loads of salad with tuna/chicken/eggs/cheese xxx

With chicken fillets they dry out very very quickly & easy to over cook. Cooking in foil is a good option. I was on low cal high protein pre op diet. I lost 1 1/2 stone in 2 weeks on it.
I put my small chicken fillet into oil with a little chicken stock, soya sauce, some crushed ginger & garlic & a shredded spring onion. Wrapped it & put in oven for 15 mins. Checking it is cooked.

 

[Bellydancer57]

Not oil - foil bl**dy iPad!

 

[kirstyd]

That sound nice bellydancer! I'm gonna check if I can use soy sauce!

Today I'm gonna have chicken with tikka and paprika spice :/ I'll give it a bash lol.

Wat temp shd I put the oven at? X

 

[Bellydancer57]

Mine is fan assisted so 160 if not 180. Mmm chicken tikka yum. I managed prawns for the first time this week & it was ok. Been having trouble introducing new foods & textures. Gradually getting better though. Nearly 6 1/2 stone & 3 months post op so very pleased.
