Chew well. If you eat fast, it will result in a horrible retching. At least that was my result.

Alot of people have issues with chicken unless very moist or mixed with gravy, broth, etc. Someone talked about cooking chicken in crockpot with broth and shredding it when done (like pulled pork).

meats like chicken that tend to be dry can hard. In addition to Kristen's suggestions, I usually have something to dip it in for added moistness. Plain old yellow mustard is super low cal/low carb. Or I'll take some plain nonfat greek yogurt and add some herbs or spices to it, I've even mixed in a little pesto before. The moistness helps the meat go down and sit a little easier. Don't give up - it takes time to figure out what works for you.

I make what I call dirty chicken and it's quite moist and good. I take boneless skinless chicken thighs and in a skillet put a bit of olive oil. I put in the chicken and add some low sodium Worcestershire sauce and salt free garlic seasoning and cook on low heat till done through. It is moist and very flavorful.

How much are you eating before that happens? How quickly are you eating it? I find that I am only able to eat about the equivalent of 1 1/2 chicken wings. Or 2 wing dings annnnnnnnnnd I have to eat it over 30 -45 maybe even an hour. I cant eat it in 5-6 bites even if they are small. I get quite uncomfortable and feel the need to vomit. That hasn't happened in awhile but I do find when I eat certain foods (salmon, brisket, chicken) I fill up very quickly and not the 2-3 ounces that everyone boasts about. For me it could be 1/2 ounce to an ounce. IF I am able to eat 3 ounces it will take me at least 2 sittings to get it in. ALSO--- I can't eat other foods with it like veggies or any other sides. It just doesn't work. SO I could be wrong but it may not be that it doesn't sit well with you-- like me-- you may not be able to eat as much of it as you think you can.

Have you tried just eating like 1 or 2 bites chew really well and swallow then stop for an hr? Do you still vomit? If you can tolerate a couple bites and sit on that for an hour-- you may just have to scale back on foods that are a little denser. Especially chicken with skin and coating. That may be something you have to enjoy over 2-3 sittings.

How far out are you?

I swear these people that post eating fried chicken are trolls. Who in their right mind would want to eat the same $#!T that got them to the point of needing this surgery in the first place. Don't they realize this surgery isn't the cure to eat whatever the he!! you want.

I eat chicken but soft, naked, chicken breast. I can't imagine eating skins or breaded would sit well or be best choice for me. I am almost 4 months post op

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL
