Chicken is still my Kryptonite!



Recommended Posts

Tonight I made my husband some baked chicken tenders. They looked pretty good and I haven't got sick in quite a while so I took a little bite. Just ONE LITTLE BITE! Now I'm percolating like a coffee pot (gurgling and burping) and very nauseous. I should have known better. Chicken and I just don't get along anymore...

And since turkey and chicken are cousins, guess what I'm not having on Thanksgiving? Lol

chicken has to be moist for me to be able to eat it without the oh sh*t feeling. It also took me several months before I could eat it. Don't count it off your list forever.

I'm five months out. I'm not counting it out forever but I think I'll wait till after the holidays to try again. The next two months are too busy to deal w/feeling sick. :-)

I swear chicken is still the trickiest of all for me too! And they tell you how ground beef is difficult - but it was the first thing I could eat with ZERO problem. I can do pork chops easy - shrimp, sure - ham - gotcha - tuna - let's go - chicken, uh........

Now my friend - 2 years later still can't eat shrimp or ground beef and never had a problem with chicken. So go figure!

I know what you mean - chicken is hard for me too and so is tuna fish. I can do flounder, sea bass, tilapia, but no tuna. I am almost 7 weeks post op and still have to do mush. I am not looking forward to this week having to discontinue the Protein shakes for a regular meal and get all of my Protein from food. I don't think it is going to happen right away.

Hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving....it's not all about the food.

Isn't it funny how we're all different. chicken and tuna are fine with my pouch. I've realised now though that it doesn't like Cereal anymore, too many carbs perhaps.

      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.
