OMG I thought I was going to die. A little background first, I love chicken, I ate chicken almost daily before the LB. Well I am 3 months post OP and have had a second fill that has me very tight, now your caught up. So yesterday I go to Sam's and buy a rotisserie chicken, like a have done a few hundred times before pre-LB. I got it home and took it off the bone and in the fridge it went. I am thinking I can eat this, the ground turkey is getting old and I needed something new. Now the gross part. I am setting at lunch today have a very small plate of chicken approx 3 ounces and I take a bite chew very well and a nice change from the ground turkey. I few more very small bites go by and then it happens. I get stuck, it is so painful and just down right nasty. I stand at the sink for at least 30 minutes foaming at the mouth, coughing up nasty and every time I think I am done, I am not. I chew papaya enzyme pills trying to get unstuck while I am in pain. At one point I thought what am I going to do. It just keeps on....then one last painful puke and it's gone. Boy did that suck. I thought I was past this..... I was so tired afterward I layed down for a while. Now the good news, when I got up I had a brainstorm as opposed to the brain farts I usually have. I wanted ice cream, so I broke out my ice cream maker and turned my chocolate protein shake into ice cream by adding a little splenda and some sugar free Hershey's chocolate sauce to my protein shake milk and soy milk. It was great, I don't have to feel left out.. I can live with my LB. Oh the chicken was finely copped and added to chicken broth, orzo, corn and pea dish that I had no trouble getting down at dinner. I should also note that I did not walk this weekend it was just too hot, it's time to Wii.

Can you not eat chicken on this?

Yes, it all depends on how tight you are depending on your fills. I am very tight, by my request, on my second fill. Some people take several fills to get to their "sweet spot" I wanted to get there quickly as possible since my doctor covered the first 3 fills as long as they were in the first 90 days. I simply chopped my chicken very fine and added it to a orzo pasta dish which goes down just fine. Everyone is different so what I can eat you may not be able to, it is trial and error.

Same here! I am pretty tight after 2nd fill and have had lots of trouble keeping things down.. Chicken is the worst for me, no matter how I cook it! The NP said that Chicken does that to some people, guess we are "some" of those people! LOL! It's been a lot of trial and error for me. Hang in there! By the way - my favorite thing to fix and it goes down really well is a Turkey breast tenderloin. I buy it at Wal-Mart. It's made by Honeysuckle White and you can get it in a rotisserie flavor, lemon pepper, or garlic. It's wonderful cooked on the grill just like you would fix a pork tenderloin!

Thanks for the tip I will give the turkey tenderlion a try.
