Can you eat chicken?



Recommended Posts

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!!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
