Sorry, but I don't have any issues with chicken. If I don't have any kind of sauce it will go down very slow but I use sauce the majority of the time. Try some sort of low calorie dipping sauce.

How do you make the chicken? The drier it is the harder time you will have with it...try making it in a slow cooker or braising it so it stays super moist.

I';ve had some problems with chicken getting stuck. I find that I really have to chew, chew, chew and then it goes down better. I also agree that the moister the better for getting it down. Hope this helps.

I bake it...maybe it's the fact that I can't cook lol....

When you are baking it add chicken broth to it. You have to keep chicken very moist. Also when you microwave chicken make sure you add some kind of broth to it. Microwaving seems to dry out food a lot.

I can do chicken just fine if I chew the heck out of it.

Sometimes. If I make it at home then I've never had a problem but I have had issues ordering it out so I don't order it at restaurants anymore.

When you bake it, put something like chicken broth, a canned Soup or salsa over it, then put tinfoil over the pan to trap the moisture while baking.

You could also invest in a crockpot, people report good success in putting chicken in it, covering it with salsa and cooking all day.

You could also try cooking thighs instead of breasts. Breasts while lower calorie, tend to be dryer. Thighs are much moister.

And last of all, Rotisserie chicken from the grocery store is usually VERY tender.. the whole bird. :)

Hope this helps.

My Dr told me to eat chicken thighs if I had an issue with the breasts,they are moister. I eat a lot of chicken so I am so glad my band likes it!

I usually have problems with chicken also. I have to cut it up really really small. But sometimes that doesnt even help. It has gotten a little better since I had an unfill, but It still goes down rough.:blink:

It is hard for me as well. I agree with making it moist and chewing well and even smaller bites than usual. Ordering it at fast food never goes well for me too :(.

I have real problems w9ith chicken and fish, watm chicken thighs are a bit easier but I have to chew, chew , chew and eat really slowly. I can only eat a couple of small mouthfulls. Sorry you have this problem but I am glad I am not alone. Chicken was always one of my staples when I was dieting

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
