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 .

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?).

I also have a little issue with turkey. I can eat it, but not as much as chicken and I sometimes get the foamies.

I can still only eat super moist poultry. (Well ANY meat I eat has to be tender and/or moist.)

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.

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!

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.

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>

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.

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.

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. :-)

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
