I find the ones with berries higher in carbs than I would like, but the plain ones looks awesome...
I am going to try the sweet chilli thai one first....
Chicken was one of the last things I could eat post surgery because of its density. I found thighs easier than breasts. I would just plop 6-8 skinless boneless thighs into a pan, add a can of light cream of chicken or cream or mushroom soup and bake for 1/2 hour or so until done. I needed the sauce to get it down.
You won't be eating plain chicken like this pacakge for some time post surgery but around 6 months out it will be fine. I find most prepared chicken has a weird texture. They add potato starch and salt for a preservative and to keep the chicken from falling apart. Check the label to see if there is added starch. You may be better off buying a rotisserie chicken if in a rush although it can be very dry the next day. I also used some greek yogurt tzatziki to help with moisture during the first year.
I would make a big batch of thighs on the weekend and freeze them individually with some sauce. You will only be able to eat maybe half a thigh at first.
I'm 6 weeks post op.
I found the moisture fine, but I have been very fortunate to have zero issues consuming anything..knock on wood ;)
I hate the kitchen and cooking for me is really not enjoyable, so I am always looking for good pre made food. It makes it a little more difficult to find things that taste good and are good for me, but it works for me.
I've learned that with this surgery, there are 'RULES' and then there are 'rules'. Knowing which ones you can play with makes a huge difference in my success and happiness :)
