I had the strangest experience today. For Breakfast I was eating egg whites and grilled chicken breast (skinless). Anyway I had 2 egg whites and 1/3 cup of chicken cut into strips, didn't finish it all. It took me 40 minutes to eat and stopped when I felt full. About 15 minutes later I felt like there was a golf ball in my pouch. It lasted for 3 hours until I finally drank a cup of pineapple juice and took some gas-x. The rest of the day I've just been on liquids, maily my protien shake and Water. And I'm planning on having liquids tomorrow, then calling my doctor to see what's going on.

This is my first really uncomfortable food experience with chicken. There was no sliming or pbing. And I'm a little over 4 months post op, haven't had a fill since the beginning of december and don't need one.

Thanks,

Perhaps stuck or ate too much at once. Remember in the mornings, you will usually be tighter. It might have been the "one bite too much" syndrome.

This seems to happen a lot with chicken, especially the breasts. I would avoid chicken for breakfast and save it for lunch or dinner! It sounds more like you were "backed up" but not far from stuck!

Yep - that was an "almost" stuck :wink2:

It is uncomfortable. A stuck will usually start the salivating. For me I get to the point where I can't swallow anymore - not even spit. At that point it's a lost cause for me - it's PB time!

I used to fight it but I've decided that spending an hour being completely miserable spitting into a cup was probably more damaging than just having a quick upheave of the offending food.

I have always HATED throwing up with a passion - avoid it at ALL costs!! I can now just face the potty and assume the position and remove the offending item. It's really not the same as throwing up since there isn't any acid/stomach juices etc. Just the chewed up food.

hope you doing better now!

Thanks everyone. Well the verdict is no more chicken before afternoon. I'm spending the day on liquids and am fine so far. I have no desire to even eat chicken after yesterday. I just got back from the grocery store and bought some low-fat low-sodium turkey breast from the deli and will stick to that.
