Getting stuck on chicken



Recommended Posts

hi,

my band is a fickle beyotch ... some days chicken is fine for me, some days i cant even handle one bite.

some tips:

make sure it is either VERY moist white meat or switch to dark meat. i found i can handle thighs better than breasts

try a topping or gravy. if i have breasts i like a teaspoon of salsa on top. cheese works well too.

good luck

Thanks losing.

I love chicken!

Prior to being banded I would make chicken in any kind of way imaginable!

This band is weird!

I'm sitting here eating cottage cheese with raisins and that is going down slow and rugged.

Wtf? I'm almost three weeks out!

I have to eat right?

Some days I'm cool and some days I worry that I have'nt eaten enough.

Yesterday I had a small container of chili I ate for lunch but I had to eat half at 1pm and the other half at 3pm.

Later I had a slice of turkey and pinched off of a slice of bread,

Than Late I picked at some chicken that made my chest feel like hell!

I agree, the chicken has GOT to be moist. Open Pit is my friend.

If you are only 3 weeks post op, it may be a bit soon for such solid foods. I know every doc is different with his/her post op instructions, but I can almost guarantee that you are still swollen from your surgery, and that is why the chicken is getting stuck.

If you must eat chicken at this stage, try it, as was suggested before, with something to lubricate the meat.

Best of luck.

Ok sometimes when I eat chicken I'm fine.

Than other times it hurts so bad going down.

Why?

Can the stuck feeling mess with my band?

Here lately....for me, it's been 1 of 3 things. I've eaten too big of a bite of chicken, not chewed enough, or too fast. Either way....stuck/hurt. I would suggest altering one of the 3 to see if it will help.

Good luck,

Annette

White meat of any kind, especially chicken and turkey, are big offenders because they are naturally dry. Too bad because I ONLY eat white meat. It takes some concentration.

      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?

      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.
