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.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
