Since getting the band in August of 2012, I have come to the conclusion that chicken's hate me...even in egg form. I have had trouble from the beginning with chicken.. I don't care how slow I eat it, how soft its cooked, what form it's in.. I can't even eat scrambled eggs. It all comes back.. WHATS UP WITH THAT???

eggs are actually a very common problem food for banded people.

As for chicken, as long as you can eat other meats and get good Protein elsewhere, I wouldn't worry about it. It just might be a problem food for you.

Oh, I'd hate to not be able to tolerate chicken. Pre-band, I ate so much chicken I risked sprouting feathers. I'm now cleared for regular foods (in small pieces, of course) and happily have been fine with moist chicken and fluffy, wet scrambled eggs. That said, I have no fill yet so this may change, but I hope not.

Funny I have no issues with chicken or eggs but you give me a piece of steak regardless of how tender it is going to be problematic for me.

I agree with Jim i can tolerate scrambled eggs and chicken.But when it comes to steak of any kind forget it!I can't tolerate it at all! Some people can tolerate tortillas wrap sandwiches I can't tolerate that it all.I do like the Jimmy John's unwich!Everyone is different on what they can tolerate but the majority of what gets stuck that is mushy is the same.You have to figure out what you can tolerate and go from there.Good luck!

5 days post op and I'm FIENDING CHICKEN!!! I can't wait for some chicken salad, blended of course

I have no problems eating chicken or eggs. I only have 3 cc's in my band right now, so it could become a problem after my next fill. I tried a piece of steak that was tender and it went down okay. To be honest I haven't had anything that I couldn't eat so far. No stuck episodes or pbing. Either I am a good chewer or just not enough in the band to cause problems. I guess we will see after my fill on the 22nd.

So what comes up first? the chicken or the egg? lol! I crack me up!!

I have meant others who have issues with chicken. I cut it up in such small pieces it looks like the chunky cat food I give my 8 pound cat. Eggs so far are ok, but I have a friend who has the Ruen Y and she has issues with eggs. Each of us is different. I have only had one fill after surgery so I have about 4 cc all total and I wonder if some of these foods will become an issue after more fills.
