Every time I have either one. I get this crazy pain in my chest, my pouch hurts and I feel like I need to vomit. I'm not going to try it any more. Those episodes last like 10-15 minutes and are awful. Why does this happen? All I had was a corner piece of a slice of turkey deli meat this time.

Sounds like its stuck. Happens alot with chicken and turkey in some people. Wait a few weeks and try again.

You're lucky it only lasts 15 mins. My fist time lasted 2 1/2 hours. :-p

Jeepchick is right. Wait a couple weeks and try again, but do it cautiously. My surgery was May 30 and I still can't do chicken, turkey or tuna. I can eat eggs and fish (except tuna for some reason) every day. :-)

I have the same problem with hard boiled eggs if there's not enough mayo. It's just too dry & gets stuck - it's a horrible feeling...

I may never eat chicken again. Every single one has been a disaster. My nutritionist told me to wait awhile and try again with dark meat..idk tho cause I have developed this serious aversion now.

You will be ale to eat chicken again

Thanks for giving me hope. I love grilled chicken salads and would like to enjoy them again someday. :-)

It took me about 3 months to be able to eat chicken. It's my go to food now

I'm 4.5 months post op and I'm just now able to handle chicken and turkey. I still can't do ground beef... But I can do premium steak.

Chicken just didn't go down right and it didn't even taste good. What I did notice is I'm able to eat marinated chicken tho and also oven roasted. It has to be super super moist.

I am 3years out and the only chicken/turkey I can eat r either ground or thin deli meat. But I can eat steak and jerkey fine. It's cause I can cook the steak medium. And the chicken has 2b fully cooked. The longest episode I had was 14hrs. I don't even try 2 eat the breast any more only ground or deil chipped thin.

Thanks everyone for your replies they were all helpful. I'm going to stay away from poultry for a whike. Tomorrow I will try tilapia. Hopefully that goes smoothly.

chicken is the one thing i can get down ok besides Beans and fish. Steak about killed me. I also do well with ground turkey but ground beef is ruff on me. We are all so different
