Allison Carter Kenney 5 Posted October 3, 2013 I Am 5 weeks out and doing great , down 27 pounds . I am learning to eat and doing well except for chicken and turkey . White meat , dark meat , baked , stewed , with sauce without sauce it doesn't matter . 2-3 bites and foaming and gagging and then I throw it up . Anyone else have this ? I can tolerate beef and even steak , chicken or turkey - nope . 1 LipstickLady reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mrs.RRn 2,111 Posted October 3, 2013 I don't have an issue with chicken, but turkey doesn't sit well. It doesn't come up, it just doesn't feel good. But I do find steak is easier than poultry (strange?). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SueJH 205 Posted October 3, 2013 I also have a little issue with turkey. I can eat it, but not as much as chicken and I sometimes get the foamies. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kimbernada 190 Posted October 4, 2013 I can still only eat super moist poultry. (Well ANY meat I eat has to be tender and/or moist.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LipstickLady 25,682 Posted October 4, 2013 I can't do scrambled but I can do over easy, poached or hard boiled. Deviled eggs are awesome! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sleeved in Seattle 280 Posted October 4, 2013 I can't do chicken either. I asked the PA about this and she said chicken tended to be more fibrous/stringy and so harder to digest. I can't grasp how beef would be less fibrous, but my sleeve seems to think so! Stupid thing has a tiny little mind of its own most days. 1 valkyrea reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mrs.RRn 2,111 Posted October 4, 2013 I can't do scrambled but I can do over easy, poached or hard boiled. Deviled eggs are awesome! Yes, deviled eggs are really easy to eat. I make me a deviled egg (yep, 1- and my coworkers laugh) once in a while to bring to work. Except I use a Lauging Cow wedge instead of mayo-- yum! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
7 Bites_Jen 479 Posted October 8, 2013 I couldn't tolerate it either until my fourth or fifth month out! Just stick with what you CAN eat and keep trying! Eventually, it'll stay down. 1 kvlasy reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AvaFern 3,516 Posted October 8, 2013 Me too! I started off able to eat Boar's Head turkey fine and I can still tolerate that in small portions (like maybe one piece) but real chicken, I feel like it's choking my stomach! Someone else called it the "foamies" which is a good word for it. I keep trying it, but I'm getting close to giving up on on chicken for awhile. I hope it's not forever because I like chicken more than other meats and it's a nice easy source of Protein.< /p> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kvlasy 195 Posted October 8, 2013 I couldn't tolerate it either until my fourth or fifth month out! Just stick with what you CAN eat and keep trying! Eventually, it'll stay down. I am four and a half months out and can eat chicken sometimes. I can tell within 2 bites if I am going to be able to continue eating. Turkey - ground only so far.

ne_diva 0 Posted October 9, 2013 Im 2 ms out as of TODAY... I cant tolerate beef well, it seems to get clogged & takes its time going down (hurts or it feels like its coming back up)... Grilled boneless chicken works better for me. Pasta or rice either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
da1stladie 63 Posted October 10, 2013 I'm 5 months out, eating chicken can be challenging because it's a dense protien for me. So that means I have to chew it many, many, many times for it to go down and not bother me. I hope this helps someone. :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
