so far i've had very bad luck eating chicken. i've tried cooking it different ways and using thighs instead of the breasts i used to use. but every time i end up puking and sliming after a few bites. is there anyone who tolerates chicken? if so how long did it take after banding to tolerate it. any ways to cook it that are more tolerable?

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?

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.

I too cook it in the crock pot and I am able to eat it without a problem.
