I can't do beef anymore and after surgery I really don't do any type of meat well. It is strange because I can't do beef well but when I have corned beef I have no problem !! but steak, chicken, pork etc. all do not sit well with me. I have tried the ground chicken and I can eat that is small amounts but it has to be very moist. I am 20 months post op.

chicken is tough for me too unless it is chicken salad - like through the food processor. Otherwise I really have to eat it as soon as it is cooked and still hot. If it sits a bit or gets put in the fridge - FORGET it! Crab has been my favorite thing. Too bad it is so expensive and hard to get fresh. But when I am on the gulf - I am all about it.

I bought canned chicken breasts from costco, and I did okay with it. I love chicken but the discomfort is not worth it.

I haven't tried it yet as today wss my first day on semi-solid food, but I had an appt with my nutritionist today that set up a full menu for me. She suggested that I marinate my pork and chicken breasts in orange juice, papaya or pineapple juice overnight to keep it moist for eating after cooked. Hoping you can try it and see if it works! Good luck

I could not eat chicken for the first 6 months post op. It made me sick just looking smelling or tasting it. Terrible food aversion. Now it is fine. Have not got anything stuck since I tried broccoli once and decided never again. It has been 14 months since my surgery and am able to eat just about anything, just not a lot.

TMI... Things that are stuck I've been able to get back out by massaging and pressing gently on my pouch.

I have to lay down. I learned i actually have gotten worse about my chewing the further out I've gotten. Mainly because it's life as usual now and I tend to talk and laugh and entertain while I'm eating not always a great idea if you get carried away enough to be distracted to not chew as good.
