I'm almost two months out from bypass; unless the meat is very soft (usually baked chicken in soup), I have a hard time chewing it enough to make my pouch happy. I usually have a hard time with more than two ounces.

You are NOT alone. When I was cleared to eat chicken, fish, meat I was scared to eat. It was almosr like I has been traumatized and did not want to eat. I had bad dreams that I ate the wrong thing, ate too much or choked!! I talked to my nutrionalist and she said take it slow. Stay on liquids, pureed foods ect as long as you want. There's no hurry. Everyone is different.

Softer meat helps or even canned chicken. I find ground turkey is best for me

But yea it’s weird if you’re eating more dense meats or grilled chicken etc

Definitely start with ground meats, imo. Something like a mild chili, so there is plenty of moisture with the meat. For each tablespoon of food, break it up into about 6 bites, then chew well. Let one mouthful (I know, amusing term at this stage) settle before you start the next.

I would highly recommend chicken salad as a start. I know I’m allowed purée chicken salad in the soft food phase I’m in now. But it will help towards moving into the next so maybe it will help you out

Has anyone experienced like diarrhea with EVERYTHING they eat? Is it normal?

How many days has it been? My instructions were to call the doctor's office if it lasted 5 days or more. Otherwise you can get dehydrated.

I chew everything to purée. Absolutely nothing has been a problem. As a former owner of a lap band from Hell, it’s just the way I chew food.< br />

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
