Does anyone who is at least 3 weeks post op eat chicken Pot pie? Just curious.

Should not have the crust at three weeks. probably not the chicken either.

It really depends on what your doctors preferences are. As you may hv noticed on here that some doctors okay some things while others don't approve. It doesnt mean one is right the other is wrong & visa versa. Also everyone on here tolerates things differently.

Having said that, are you able to tolerate that at 3wks? I also dont thk at 3wks it wld be good to eat the crust. Just my opinion.

Everyone tolerates things at diff stages. My surgery was July 16th & I do very good with meat, any kind but starchy & Pasta not so good at all. We are all diff.

Good luck!

I know for me it took me a long while to eat chicken again. It just tasted really gritty to me or something and also gve me heartburn for some reason. But as for the crust, I was not allowed any bread for 12 weeks. Swells too much in your sleeve and it takes at least 12 weeks to heal the staple line.

Its so strange how everyone is different. Im having to make myself eat Protein & I do, but I hv never been a big meat eater. I like it, just never wanted a lot of it & now thats what my pouch tolerates better than anything. I know some tht hv a hard time with meat.

I eat chicken pot pie that my wife makes. It is a cooking light recipe that is actually very healthy and yummy. The only difference now is I do not eat the crust and only eat about 3 oz. it has a lot of protein in it from the chicken. Yummy!
