Well it happened again %!& !! The last time I thought I would die was only a little over a week ago and I swore I would never ever let it happen again. Impossible to with all the chewing I am doing now. Wrong I did it again today. Both times I was eating chicken. Could it be the chicken and not necessarily my eating to fast or not chewing enough? Is anyone else finding chicken hard to eat after surgery? Chicken was always a staple in my food choices. Maybe in a week or so I'll try it again and see if it happens and if it does it definitely is the chicken because it has only happened the 2 X and both was with chicken.

If you are talking about chicken breasts, yes! I can't eat chicken breasts unless they have sauce on them. They are just too dry. Turkey, neither, by the way. But, I can eat chicken thighs okay, and dark meat, just stay away from gristle and skin. You should be okay with a tomato sauce, like chicken parm. or white sauce, though. Good luck Karen

Its a dry piece of meat it has to be moist and cut into very little pueces

Yes chicken is dry and can be hard to eat. As already suggested stick to the darker meat like thigh, have a sauce and also use wet rather than dry cooking methods. Chicken in a casserole is far easier to eat than if it is grilled or fried.

Thanks guys ! The first time was Chinese chicken and broccoli and today it was grilled chicken in a wrap. Just ate the chicken out of the wrap so that was probably the problem. My favorite pieces of chicken are the thighs so when I try again that should be alright, right?

I have been getting stuck on chicken recently. I finally realized that the only chicken that bothers me is the chicken strips from Jack In The Box. I chew them well and take small bites. I have noticed that after I chew them a lot, there is some stringy stuff left and if nobody is around I can spit it into a napkin. Anyway, after the last one I have sworn off of Jack's chicken. I can eat chicken legs and thighs with no problems.

My worst stuck episode was on leann chin bourbon chicken. That stuff is covered in sause but it is grilled beforehand. That makes it hard, dry and charred. I have been sticking with FRESH out of the oven or crockpot chicken that is very tender and moist and things are so much better. Don't put chicken in the microwave either, that really sucks out the juice. Good luck, u will figure out what u can and can't tolerate.

I'm another who has trouble with chicken breasts without a lot of sauce. Fortunately, I like dark meat. Have you tried chicken salad? If you are too busy to make your own, Aldi's has one that tastes good, though it is high in fat.

I have trouble with tribbles.

I make chicken salad using canned chicken breast from Sam's club! Very good!

I was taken to Boston Market twice this week. I brought ton of food home, of course. Much of it will be come chicken salad or chicken soup, but I did notice (with pleasure) that I ate small pieces of dark and white met successfully, because the meat was moist and tender. Nevertheless, I am not going to try to cook my own chicken breast for a while.

I also was unable to eat chicken. It became where it didn't matter how I prepared it, it was hard for me process. I have not eaten any meat in quite a while, but I do remember ground meats were easier.

I had the worst stuck episode with chicken at a Japanese steak house... I can eat chicken thighs but not breast. even if I chew like crazy and eat slowly I still get stuck.. I have decided to stay away from white meat chicken..

Funny thing is I get chicken stuck too pretty much any meat actually it's pretty painful and sometimes it comes back up. I also can't eat salads the texture bothers me and I have tons of raw tuna or fish, eggs or egg salad minus the yellow. I don't eat breads or any rice anymore. It's really painful and I would rather not be in pain than eat. I can do fruits (some). I can't eat cereal that much unless with milk but still don't eat it. Chicken though is tough I try it and the pain is tolerable if it's juicy. Anybody else having problems eating. I know a few people who did the band and are able to eat breads from sandwiches and I just can't do it. Am I alone? I did however lose 50lbs since May 25, 2013.
