I love chicken, I LOVE chicken. Why am I having a hard time eating it? I bake or boil or steam it so its moist but the last two times I ate it I puked. I just ate chicken tonite for dinner and I have the worse stomach ache...

Could I b eating too fast?

Chicken is important to me because I don't eat beef, pork or fish other than baked cod. I'm running out of meat

I love turkey as much as chicken, but the other two.... Nahhhhhh lol

I basically eat chicken and turkey, but the chicken is hurting.

I'm scared to eat stuff like that... It's just the thought of it I guess. Lol

I'm with you! It's my favorite Protein but I haven't been able to eat it yet at all most 6 weeks post op. I've thrown it up almost every time.

I can eat this with no problem. The whole pieces are killing me even with it being super moist.

chicken is really dense & thus hard for a lot of us post WLS, me included. The only way I can avoid vomiting it is either ground chicken/turkey in a sauce or chicken/turkey loin shredded & put into Soup, like 98% fat free cream of chicken or just stock.

Darn it. I haven't tried real chicken yet. Just canned and deli. I hope I don't have an issue. Have you tried taking it off the bone and dicing it finely? I've been sticking to ground hamburger but I do understand you not eating beef. How about veggie burgers?

I have the same problem with chicken - white meat - like a chicken breast. It is very difficult to eat - I feel like I cant eat more that 3 or 4 bites and there is not room for anything else but I am still a bit hungry. I have avoided it mostly - the dark meat is much easier on the new stomach, but you may not like that - ground chicken is a good suggestion. I also can each fried chicken tenders without a problem ( I think is is the added oil for cooking) unfortunately because of the "fried" factor - so I try not to indulge in those often. I also find the chicken goes down better if I dip it in ranch dressing or some lo-cal lo-sugar dipping sauce. Hope you can find a solution.

      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.
