    i found out that if you use a food processor, I have a cup size that retails for about $10 and grind the chicken up you have lot less trouble eating chicken. Eating it any other way it is very painful. Ground chicken still poses a problem.

    I had the same problem after my gastric bypass. It was a year before I could eat chicken, and even now if it is too dry or not chewed REALLY well, I will throw it up. Best if eaten with something liquid like broth, or the really soft meat of chicken wings…Tolerated eggs ok. Good luck with GB….still the best thing I ever did, I don’t regret ever!! Thanks Dr. Katsis, you are AWESOME!!!

    I wish I had watched this one before I ate some chicken last night. I have been so sick ever since. Won’t make that mistake again. *sigh*

    you love eggs

  11. NikkieRoxxx says:

    Nuts are indeed a good substitute; they are gorged with protein, plus fiber and vit E… which is a fat soluble vitamine we need!

  12. massagegoddess says:

    yeah, that is what i said i eat it ground. I eat lots of ground chicken in chili and other stuff and also I eat turkey sausage.

  13. NikkieRoxxx says:

    maybe you wish to try it as ground?…
    I am a vegatarian, … and I got problems with seitan ;) … so even veggies are not shielded from these jams at the exit of your first stomach!

    your cat made me laugh

  15. handycrafted says:

    Gawd thanks for the warning, we eat chicken every day here…now I know to be careful!

    Newly post-ops sometimes have issues with chicken but further out you’ll be fine :) I had a bit of a hard time with it getting stuck at first but by 6-7 weeks post-op I was having NO problems with it. :)

  17. SusieCruisie says:

    Good advice, thanks for sharing your experience with chicken. I am pre-op and of course chicken has always been the “good” meat, low fat/high protein. I’m really trying to get all the info I can before surgery, bad as well as good, and it’s great to have some forewarning about things that might not be so tummy-friendly.

    And Amelia, your videos are so great. You are a real sweetheart.

    Glad I am not the only one who experiences problems with eating chicken. I have problems with most meats… OUCH!

  19. massagegoddess says:

    *pout* so sorry to hear that!!! may get better with time?

  20. MyPinkRainbow says:

    i am sorry to say i cant tolerate any meat i live on almonds…. and cheesy tots ,only made fresh off the broiler or they r rubbery and gross… maybe that is why i am underwieght , i get terrible dumping with everything:(

  21. 3foldutopiandream says:

    i too can do chicken, but not pork.

    my surgeon lets us eat chicken, but at 6 months out since it’s stringy and our tummies can’t handle it yet.

  22. cschorback says:

    Yeah, beans are great! I’ve shyed away from them because that’s all I ate in the pureed form 2 weeks out and I got so tired of them! But your beans look awesome! I hope you can eat it with an egg in it. PS Moxy is so cute!

  23. heathermpita says:

    Chicken is probably the easiest meat for me to eat. I am so thankful because I love chicken!!!! I just made the best homemade chicken salad. I had heard that it could be a problem and was so worried but I don’t have a problem with it.

  24. massagegoddess says:

    That rocks! am jealous. I am putting up a video on my black beans and my chili soon. The black beans taste awesome with a fried egg in them. I wish I could have them that way, may try to see if I can keep it down with the beans. Beans are so soothing in my pouch, they never make me sick

  25. cschorback says:

    I’m ok with chicken and eggs. Each person is different post-op, strangely enough. You’d think the surgery would affect us all the same!
