I Am 5 weeks out and doing great , down 27 pounds . I am learning to eat and doing well except for chicken and turkey . White meat , dark meat , baked , stewed , with sauce without sauce it doesn't matter . 2-3 bites and foaming and gagging and then I throw it up . Anyone else have this ? I can tolerate beef and even steak , chicken or turkey - nope .

I don't have an issue with chicken, but turkey doesn't sit well. It doesn't come up, it just doesn't feel good. But I do find steak is easier than poultry (strange?).

I also have a little issue with turkey. I can eat it, but not as much as chicken and I sometimes get the foamies.

Me. Exactly!

I can still only eat super moist poultry. (Well ANY meat I eat has to be tender and/or moist.)

ME!! I started out being able to tolerate chicken but NOW...NOPE! It comes back with a vengance! I can't even eat egss...and I LOVE eggs! I can eat beef and pork though without ANY problems! I LOVE chicken..I hope one day we can be friends again...SIGH!

So glad I am not crazy . Eggs are weird too , more fish and beef for me .

I can't do scrambled but I can do over easy, poached or hard boiled. Deviled eggs are awesome!

I can't do chicken either. I asked the PA about this and she said chicken tended to be more fibrous/stringy and so harder to digest. I can't grasp how beef would be less fibrous, but my sleeve seems to think so! Stupid thing has a tiny little mind of its own most days.

Yes, deviled eggs are really easy to eat. I make me a deviled egg (yep, 1- and my coworkers laugh) once in a while to bring to work. Except I use a Lauging Cow wedge instead of mayo-- yum!

I couldn't tolerate it either until my fourth or fifth month out! Just stick with what you CAN eat and keep trying! Eventually, it'll stay down.

Me too! I started off able to eat Boar's Head turkey fine and I can still tolerate that in small portions (like maybe one piece) but real chicken, I feel like it's choking my stomach! Someone else called it the "foamies" which is a good word for it. I keep trying it, but I'm getting close to giving up on on chicken for awhile. I hope it's not forever because I like chicken more than other meats and it's a nice easy source of protein.

I am four and a half months out and can eat chicken sometimes. I can tell within 2 bites if I am going to be able to continue eating. Turkey - ground only so far.

Im 2 ms out as of TODAY... I cant tolerate beef well, it seems to get clogged & takes its time going down (hurts or it feels like its coming back up)... Grilled boneless chicken works better for me.

Pasta or rice either.

I'm 5 months out, eating chicken can be challenging because it's a dense protien for me. So that means I have to chew it many, many, many times for it to go down and not bother me. I hope this helps someone. :-)
