hello

I am seven months post-op and have problems eating chicken more than I do steak. Also for daily intake during meals for example if you have a fill of 2cc. how much do you eat during a meal vs. 4cc, 6cc, ect any advice and input will be helpful.:wink:

Yes chicken for me as well. I can eat lamb and beef but chicken doesn't like me. I have 8.5cc in a 9cc band and can eat 1/2 - 1 cup of food.

I have only had a problem with very stringy meats. I had some pulled pork the other day, and I did not do well with that stringy meat at all!

I can eat chicken with no problems, but I CHEW CHEW CHEW!!

Hi everyone,

meat is a problem or me as well, to the point that I just use alternative Protein, its better for me anyway and I really dont miss the meat. Try tofu if you have difficulty getting enough protein. I hope you like it as much as I do.

Thankfully no meat has proven difficult for me to eat, however an hour or later after eating I get wicked bad gas.

Does anyone else have this issue?

I have at least 8.4 cc in a 9 cc band, and I haven't had trouble with any foods. Occasionally I get a tight knot like feeling in my chest with meat, so I know I need to stop eating for a few minutes to let things settle. If I feel like the meat I'm eating is going to be hard to digest, I take a papaya/pineapple extract chewable tablet that I bought at Trader Joe's, and it makes a huge difference. It takes the discomfort away.
