60 lbs gone, but dang that chicken hurt!

[Cindy Martin 77]

Just accomplished one of my goals, down 60 lbs. This journey is not easy but so worth it.

I did want to mention, however, that yesterday I tried chicken for the first time and it did not settle well. I had a lot of grumbling in my stomach and pain. I did chew well and ate slow, I always do. It even hurt to drink Water an hour later. I have tried turkey and pork before and did fine, so I think I have to wait for little bit on chicken, which is my favorite. Has anyone else had trouble with chicken? I'm almost 5 weeks out.

I love chicken too and find it very hard to eat at eight weeks out. My boss was sleeved a year and a half ago and still has a hard time eating it. I have found that if the rotisserie chicken from costco is a little easier to digest and also very slow cooked chicken casserole with lots of liquid in small portions is tolerable. Its so weird because I can eat steak, fish, pork, shrimp and crab with absolutely no problem.Fingers crossed it gets better as we progress!

I haven't had an issue with chicken, but it can be influenced by cooking method...for instance, if you grilled it vs cooking it in a casserole or roasting whole, you may have had trouble

because there tends to be less moisture in the finished product.

Try cooking your meats in a crock pot, they come out very soft and tender. I would never have had chicken at 5 weeks out neither turkey meat or pork. I stuck with lunchmeats at this point. Don't rush it you will have the rest of your life to eat these foods.
