My plan says canned chicken at two weeks. "Regular" grilled chicken or any other meats is five months. I think some others have mentioned they could have it earlier maybe at like 3 months. I would just ask your Dr. or NUT.

3 weeks chicken well cooked with mayo or gravy to keep it from being too dry. Chew well. I ate some Micky d's chicken nuggets at almost four weeks. Not the healthy choice though.

How long did your surgeon make you wait to eat chicken post-op? (Not pureed)

I was able to eat chicken after my 2 week liquid diet was over. I had a very bad incident one eveing and went to the hospital unable to breathe from an air bubble afeter eating chicken breast. Before they saw me I threw up and was fine. I have eaten chicken (leg) without incident since. It was a horrible experienc and never want to repeat it. I am not allowed to eat beef,pork or grains until I see dr. in June. I just wish there was a specific diet to follow. free rainging is not good for me.

WOW! What a spectrum of time, from 2 weeks to 5 months! I was told to wait 6 weeks. 2 weeks for liquids, 2 weeks for pureed and 2 weeks for mushy food.< /span>

chicken is in my range right now along with fish. (Mushy) I guess every doc has his or her own madness behind his or her reason. :)

      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.
