Im just getting to the part of my diet where I can advance to more solid food. So far I've tolerated everything pretty well. But so far every time I try chicken in any form I end up puking. Anyone else have problems with chicken? Any suggestions?

I can't do chicken either. For some reason, I have trouble with most meats. I can tolerate grilled fish, but not any other meat. I think it's because I don't chew enough. By nature, I am a fast eater, per se; however, I am learning to eat slower which allows me to eat chicken salad.

I do miss chicken...I am a fish and chicken girl!

Not me! I am sitting here eating turkey right now. I DO have it with something moist like a little gravy or BBQ Sauce and that does the trick. And SMALL SMALL little bites and chew chew chew. If I were so restricted that I couldn't eat beef and chicken I'd get unfilled; I'd die on fish only. Just die.

i've tolerated beef a few times as well as shrimp and grilled fish. it just feels weird to not be able to eat chicken. the funny thing is that almost any diet you go on pushes grilled chicken breast and now its the one food i cant even tolerate

I am okay with chicken but beef ( which is my absolute favorite ) I cant eat to save my life. I actually just get ill even trying to get any down.

I second using some kind of sauce and small bites, its about the only way I can manage.

good luck to you.

have you tried pot roast ? I made it in the crock pot a few days ago. It was so tender I had no problems keeping it down. I'm actually online looking for chicken recipes to make in the crock pot now. Maybe that will get it tender enough to be tolerated . My best friend had the band done in October, she eats alot of canned chicken but says she can't tolerate any other way. A few people have suggested purred chicen to me. But just the thought of purred meat is enough to make me gag

I have made a great crock pot chicken that even my family liked. You take your chicken and put it into the crockpot with salsa (and any of the seasonings you like) and let it cook. The meat was tender and juicy. It was very easy to get down. Something else is to try eating dark meat chicken.

I made this for the whole family (DH and preteen son). I had 6 chicken breast tenderloins and 3 skinless chicken thighs. I put an entire jar of Sam's Choice salsa over it all and cooked it all day while I was at work. I made some spanish rice for the family which they put the remaining sauce onto. I need to mention that this isn't my recipe (in case the person that did make it sees this). I found it here in the food and nutrition section of the forum.

For me white meat chicken is never tolerated well. Boneless skinless thighs are about the only chicken I can eat. Unless the chicken is so tender and with something to dip it in...sometimes that won't even work. I usually avoid the white meat. But--I am a dark meat girl anyway!

I would be really bummed if I couldnt eat chicken anymore. I love it. I was banded on 1/27 and havent had any problems with any meat. I am trying pork chops tonight.

2 nights after my second fill I had about 2 oz of chicken from applebees that came on one of their mini slider sandwiches. Ate it without the bread of course, but it was fine.

Its just hard to tell since we are all so different. I also eat A LOT of chicken salad that I make. I get the white meat chicken breast in a can from tyson. Its chunky, but I wisk it with my fork so its real shredded. I add light mayo, diced celery, and diced sweet pickles. Its one of my staples. I eat about 3-4 oz of it for lunch several times a week.

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
