can anyone tolerate chicken?



Recommended Posts

chicken is one of my big problem foods. The majority of the time that I've vomited, it's been because of chicken. :smile:

I can eat chicken that is freshly cooked and very moist (I love the chicken at Qdoba -- goes down with no problems whatsoever).

If I eat one-half of a piece of chicken, I cannot save the rest for tomorrow's meal. It dries it out too quickly no matter how it's prepared. So I'm fine with freshly cooked, moist chicken, but no dry chicken or reheated leftover chicken of any type.

I have not had any problems with chicken from the very beginning. But the crockpot is probably your best bet. I love the crockpot because it keeps the moisture. Good Luck.

Hello Jennifer, :smile: I have the same problem with chicken. :) I have found that if I cook it in a crockpot with chicken stock it is super moist and I can tolerate it a lot better. Beef is another problem for me. Any suggestions?

Gail

as far as beef goes i tolerate pot roast the best of all. i've been making almost once a week . its worked out really since my kids love and dont mind having it regularly either.

How ironic I saw this post. I so thought it was just me. I can tolerate almost anything, soda, bread, but chicken, any kind, does me in. I'm stuck as I type this from a bite of KFC. I have tried crockpot, rotisserrie, breasts, thigh, you name it. I have come to the conclusion to just avaoid chicken.:cool2: I can't handle it.

After living mith my band for over 2 years I have found that chicken is actually one of the dependable meats for me (along with fish) However, I quit eating chicken breasts a ~long~ time ago...almost guarenteed, regardless of how it was cooked, I ended up stuck. I only eat thighs and can handle them cooked almost any way. To be honest, I still find one of the quickest, simplest ways to cook it is good old shake 'N Bake. Bone-in, skin on...always stays moist. 99% of the time I pull the skin off....but dang it, every now and then when it's good and crispy....yummy !!!

And I find it a little odd....I was a mostly red meat eater before banding, and I've never really had any problems with it, but it really just does not appeal to me anymore. I cook hubby a steak and find myelf a piece of fish instead.

Btw....pork is the meat that I have the hardest time with, bar none.

chicken along with ground turkey is my staple food. I have no problem with it going down but I chew, chew, chew. However, red meat just gives me this awful stomach ache. I can get it down fine but feel like crap later. The band is a very strange creature.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
