can anyone tolerate chicken?



Recommended Posts

chicken is one of my big problem foods. The majority of the time that I've vomited, it's been because of chicken. :smile:

I can eat chicken that is freshly cooked and very moist (I love the chicken at Qdoba -- goes down with no problems whatsoever).

If I eat one-half of a piece of chicken, I cannot save the rest for tomorrow's meal. It dries it out too quickly no matter how it's prepared. So I'm fine with freshly cooked, moist chicken, but no dry chicken or reheated leftover chicken of any type.

I have not had any problems with chicken from the very beginning. But the crockpot is probably your best bet. I love the crockpot because it keeps the moisture. Good Luck.

Hello Jennifer, :smile: I have the same problem with chicken. :) I have found that if I cook it in a crockpot with chicken stock it is super moist and I can tolerate it a lot better. Beef is another problem for me. Any suggestions?

Gail

as far as beef goes i tolerate pot roast the best of all. i've been making almost once a week . its worked out really since my kids love and dont mind having it regularly either.

How ironic I saw this post. I so thought it was just me. I can tolerate almost anything, soda, bread, but chicken, any kind, does me in. I'm stuck as I type this from a bite of KFC. I have tried crockpot, rotisserrie, breasts, thigh, you name it. I have come to the conclusion to just avaoid chicken.:cool2: I can't handle it.

After living mith my band for over 2 years I have found that chicken is actually one of the dependable meats for me (along with fish) However, I quit eating chicken breasts a ~long~ time ago...almost guarenteed, regardless of how it was cooked, I ended up stuck. I only eat thighs and can handle them cooked almost any way. To be honest, I still find one of the quickest, simplest ways to cook it is good old shake 'N Bake. Bone-in, skin on...always stays moist. 99% of the time I pull the skin off....but dang it, every now and then when it's good and crispy....yummy !!!

And I find it a little odd....I was a mostly red meat eater before banding, and I've never really had any problems with it, but it really just does not appeal to me anymore. I cook hubby a steak and find myelf a piece of fish instead.

Btw....pork is the meat that I have the hardest time with, bar none.

chicken along with ground turkey is my staple food. I have no problem with it going down but I chew, chew, chew. However, red meat just gives me this awful stomach ache. I can get it down fine but feel like crap later. The band is a very strange creature.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
