6 weeks out and a half of a drummette?

Shouldnt i be able to eat more by now? The family had Wing Stop Friday night and i was able to eat not even half of the drum (wingette-not breaded) it was only about two-three slivers the size of your fingernail? I also had a half of a fry (i know a fry isnt the best choice but the sides are limited).

BTW As you can see my ticker is broke:blushing:....any suggestions?

meat is apparently one of the harder things to get down, so be patient. I don't know this firsthand (I'm only 2.5 weeks out), but that's what I've heard.

As to the ticker, you need to use BBCode, not HTML in your signature. On the TickerFactory page, there should be a BBCode version.

I can only get 3-4 of the drummettes down from Wingstop, I have to peel off the skin before I eat them and I am almost a year out. Fried foods didn't work for me for a long time, and even now I avoid them. But, chicken wings are my downfall. I do have to use ranch or blue cheese to cut the grease.

Can you get more ounces of other meats or is this the only time you've had issues getting more dense Protein down?

No i can hardly get any meat (or much else) down, my biggest accomplishment has been a two shrimp about two weeks ago.

I'm really sorry you're struggling with meats. By 6 months, I was able to get meats without many issues. Something kind of clicked around 6 months for me, and it became easier. I did have to stay on mushies longer, and couldn't get in more than 3oz of meat from months 3-5.

Has your surgeon given you advice on what is going on?

I had my sleeve done inmarch and I still have problem with meats. chicken I can have 3 maybe 4 bites before I am finished. Not much at all. It will get easier with time I am sure. Just do what you can. Im sure you are doing great!
