Chicken....?

How long did your surgeon make you wait to eat chicken post-op? (Not pureed)

My plan says canned chicken at two weeks. "Regular" grilled chicken or any other meats is five months. I think some others have mentioned they could have it earlier maybe at like 3 months. I would just ask your Dr. or NUT.

3 weeks chicken well cooked with mayo or gravy to keep it from being too dry. Chew well. I ate some Micky d's chicken nuggets at almost four weeks. Not the healthy choice though.

My plan was 4 weeks out...It is very different with every doc. I started 2 week before liquid, 2 weeks after liquid..2 weeks puree or soft. then regular food..

As soon as I was on regular food I had chicken. I did not have any problems with it. I chewed it well and took my time eating it. Maybe check with your doc or nut for your eating plan.

I was able to eat chicken after my 2 week liquid diet was over. I had a very bad incident one eveing and went to the hospital unable to breathe from an air bubble afeter eating chicken breast. Before they saw me I threw up and was fine. I have eaten chicken (leg) without incident since. It was a horrible experienc and never want to repeat it. I am not allowed to eat beef,pork or grains until I see dr. in June. I just wish there was a specific diet to follow. free rainging is not good for me.

WOW! What a spectrum of time, from 2 weeks to 5 months! I was told to wait 6 weeks. 2 weeks for liquids, 2 weeks for pureed and 2 weeks for mushy food.< /span>

chicken is in my range right now along with fish. (Mushy) I guess every doc has his or her own madness behind his or her reason.
