Today I had my one month follow up. I can eat solids and I did eat at lunch 1/4 cup of chicken salad. It did take me 2 hours but it sure felt good to eat real food again. I wasn't really hungry but thats what my diet says to eat. No pain just a few gurgling sounds coming from my sleevester. I still have applesauce think i will save for later. I made the chicken salad the consistency of a spread with greek yogurt and 1 boiled egg. I made enough to last a few days. Next time will only make one chicken breast so I don't get tired of eating same thing. I need to prepare better.

I couldn't tolerate chicken at all until about 3 months out, so that's great you're doing well with it - it's a great source of protein!

I eat chicken salad (or tuna) several times a week just because it's so easy and tastes pretty good. I don't get bored with foods (love leftovers!) so I do like fixing a batch to eat on for several days. The big advantage is that you don't have to think about what to fix - just fix a nice sized batch and eat on it for a while - so less planning and panicking over what to eat when you're still struggling to find things you actually can eat.
