Eating chicken

When did everyone try chicken after surgery?

According to my plan I can have chopped chicken starting week 6 post-op.

Yep me too 6 weeks post op

I was cleared to try it at 4 weeks. Took tiny bites and chewed really, really well. Was able to eat about an ounce and it settled well. It was grilled and juicy by the way - anything too dry is more likely to cause you problems.

Thanks, my paperwork says 8 was but my NUT said a lot of people try it at 4 weeks and do fine.

Tried grilled chicken at 4 weeks out, chewed very well, and got down about an ounce. No problems.

7 weeks after surgery for me.

I was able to start it at 4 weeks. It needs to be moist, not dry. Chewed very well. My grouch pouch loves chicken better than any other protein!

I eat it almost every day. I wish it loved eggs because I do and I miss them terribly!

I am almost 3 months post-op and it depends on the day and the texture of chicken. Chew chew chew and eat slowly. I forget sometimes and eat too fast and pay for it every time. I had a chicken sausage grilled last night that my husband grilled and it didn't agree with me at all. The other day, I had buffalo chicken topping off of a pizza and I had no problems. Trial and error I guess.
