I was sleeved on Jan 31st, 2023 and I’m 8 weeks out. The diet plan my doctor has me on allows me to start eating chicken at 8 weeks (which I hit yesterday) but when I eat it, it always leaves me feeling not so great. I’ve had very small pieces in soups before the 8 weeks and that didn’t bother me at all. But now that it’s by itself, it’s giving me some discomfort. Has anyone else had a similar issue? And if so, has it gotten better with time?

a lot of people have issues with chicken the first few months. It can be kind of dry. Thighs with some kind of sauce might be easier to get down than chicken breast. Or just avoid it for the time being and try again later.

Our tummy can be very sensitive & fussy for while after surgery. A lot of it is simple healing & you will be able to eat what you can’t tolerate now again in the future. For a few, some things may be more permanent & just be a fussy digestive system. (I always had one & some food sensitivities so no real change.) Recently my tummy decided tasty cheese is too rich & strong in flavour & up it came. I’m almost 4 years out & eaten it before without issue. I probably will again too. I find breads, pasta & rice sit too heavily in my tummy so I still don’t eat them.

As @catwoman7 says chicken, especially breast, often causes problems at first. Others struggle with eggs or beef.
