I can eat chicken as long as it isn't breaded and is cut into small bites and chewed well. And it also has to be with some type of sauce....not dry.

I can not tolerate chicken not one bit, and it been hard because thats all I used to eat, period (the only meat). But now ONE BITE of any kind of poultry (especially white meat) will do me in. It hurts SOOOOO bad, and my lap-band doc thinks Im nuts, now I know there are others like me. I just hate I cant eat chicken anymore, but I live on low-fat beef patties now so, and Im adjusted to eating beef more so I dont even miss the chicken

oh dear, *sigh* yes, i feel your pain.. I LOVE chicken too and i simply cannot eat white breast mean anymore. It just gets stuck and i pb. Also i would advise you not to eat the skin as that caused me great problems. As many wonderful wise people above have told you, if you moisten the chicken, it would greatly improve the chances of you being able to eat it again! (fingers crossed!) Maybe you can make some gravy?

Hope this helps and that you are back eating your favorite chicken asap!

Best Wishes

As I mentioned in another thread here, I have not had restriction yet, or PBs and i'm at 80% of a 10cc band, it's really starting to make me wonder about if the band is on right etc etc.

I can eat chicken, and anything else you can name, and other then one incident with a piece of pizza crust that I didn't chew, nothing has ever given me the "golf ball" sensation. I don't know what to do, because on top of all this, I'm basically an over thinker on most of these types of situations. I will analyze everyone elses restrictions and eating abilities and compare them to my own until I go insane.

I never seem to know from one day to the next if I can or cannot eat chicken. Some days I am fine, others not fine at all. For me chicken is one of those "do I feel lucky today" meals....and my band will decide if I am or not. Go figure!

I haven't had any problems with chicken at all - in fact I'm cooking some right now. I bake it in apricot preserves and Russian dressing and it's so GOOD!!

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
