Can you eat chicken?



Recommended Posts

I can eat chicken as long as it isn't breaded and is cut into small bites and chewed well. And it also has to be with some type of sauce....not dry.

I can not tolerate chicken not one bit, and it been hard because thats all I used to eat, period (the only meat). But now ONE BITE of any kind of poultry (especially white meat) will do me in. It hurts SOOOOO bad, and my lap-band doc thinks Im nuts, now I know there are others like me. I just hate I cant eat chicken anymore, but I live on low-fat beef patties now so, and Im adjusted to eating beef more so I dont even miss the chicken

oh dear, *sigh* yes, i feel your pain.. I LOVE chicken too and i simply cannot eat white breast mean anymore. It just gets stuck and i pb. Also i would advise you not to eat the skin as that caused me great problems. As many wonderful wise people above have told you, if you moisten the chicken, it would greatly improve the chances of you being able to eat it again! (fingers crossed!) Maybe you can make some gravy?

Hope this helps and that you are back eating your favorite chicken asap!

Best Wishes

As I mentioned in another thread here, I have not had restriction yet, or PBs and i'm at 80% of a 10cc band, it's really starting to make me wonder about if the band is on right etc etc.

I can eat chicken, and anything else you can name, and other then one incident with a piece of pizza crust that I didn't chew, nothing has ever given me the "golf ball" sensation. I don't know what to do, because on top of all this, I'm basically an over thinker on most of these types of situations. I will analyze everyone elses restrictions and eating abilities and compare them to my own until I go insane.

I never seem to know from one day to the next if I can or cannot eat chicken. Some days I am fine, others not fine at all. For me chicken is one of those "do I feel lucky today" meals....and my band will decide if I am or not. Go figure!

I haven't had any problems with chicken at all - in fact I'm cooking some right now. I bake it in apricot preserves and Russian dressing and it's so GOOD!!

      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.
