Help stuck

Okay so I just had a fill yesterday and I'm at 6 ccs in a 10 cc band. Well I made some grilled chicken. And I have taken super tiny bites and chewing all the way and it's still getting stuck. Plus I wait almost 2 minutes in between each bite. What am I doing wrong??

Nothing!!!! You just may not be able to tolerate chicken. Chix tends to be rather dry and sticks easily. Try another source of protein. If that sticks as well you may need to have your restriction loosened.

sometimes a fill will cause a temporary swelling of the stoma. go back to liquids and than try mushies. sometimes we do have to take a step backwards. and it's true that chicken can be dry especially white meat. a lot of banders don't tolerate white meat. I too would try a different kind of protein. so after all this, take a step back. go back to soups and yogurt cottage cheese etc.

My Dr has me on clear liquids the day of the fill then full liquids the day after. It may have been too much for your stomach to have food so soon. Try liquids and see if that helps. Good luck!

I try to eat mostly dark meat now if it's chicken.

When I had the band, every time I got a fill the doctor had us only drink liquids/ protein shakes for the first 24 hours. I was never able to eat chicken plain but if it was cut up into a salad, them it was easier for me to eat
