I am 3 month post op and I can not eat Chicken without it hurting so much I have to throw up. Also any Grilled meats. Pork other than grilled I can eat some but this no meat thing is horrible. Anyone else have this issue and what do you do?

Yep. Same here. I take it has a sign I'm not ready for them yet. I've heard it can take a year or more.

I've been told to try more moist, dark meat of the chicken. Same goes for other kinds of meat. Avoid anything not super tender and moist.

First, make sure you are chewing the tougher thoroughly (at least 40x per bite). Second, take smaller bites. It's annoying because it takes longer, but it can keep you from stomach pains and/or vomiting.

It was nearly eight months before I could eat most meats. Hang in there!

Try cooking the chicken in a crock pot or make a small tinfoil tent with some water or chicken broth and bake it in the oven to keep it moist.

I'm almost 2 years out and chicken still bothers me sometimes. It's weird sometime I can eat it without any problems and sometimes I can't.

I couldn't eat meats for almost a year. I can eat any meats or fish now. I had my surgery October, 2013 and am down 260 pounds and at goal.
