Guest guest Posted November 12, 2000 Report Share Posted November 12, 2000 Hi : In another couple of weeks I will be a year post-op, and I cannot eat chicken either. I have tried chewing it slow, in tiny pieces and chewing the heck out of it, and I still get sick on it. It feels like it is stuck it in my chest. I also have a hard time if I eat hamburgers at home, but if I eat at Mcs, I can eat it if I eat it very slowly and in small well chewed bites. I just thought it was from my Sjogren's disease and lack of moisture in my mouth that was causing it. I do have trouble eating other foods also. It feels like it gets stuck it my chest frequently.

Guest guest Posted November 12, 2000 Report Share Posted November 12, 2000 I think that we may be in the minority as I see others eating chicken but I cannot. Dr. A did tell me to at least try once a month and I did for the first 18 months but I too have basically given up eating chicken although I can upon the rare occasion eat a couple of wings but not the little drumette part.

Guest guest Posted November 12, 2000 Report Share Posted November 12, 2000 just read your " chicken scratch " and thought of a couple of things for you. how about cooking the chicken down and shred it fine then mix with either cream of celery, chicken, or mushroom soup, tastier, easier to digest and can be reheated several times or froze. you also might want to consider saute your chicken in soy sauce or sesame oil, gives a little saltier taste which i liked after my proceedure and there are lots of marinades on the market now that woould give it much different flavor profile. good luck and hope you can cross the road with your chicken.

Guest guest Posted November 13, 2000 Report Share Posted November 13, 2000 I love chicken! Fried, roasted, chicken salad with mayo, celery and garlic salt, chicken soup. Yum! My first real meal in the hosp post op was chicken salad. Didn't eat much of it at the time, of course, but it sure was good. Had leftover fried chicken for breakfast yesterday morning. Too bad it's all gone or I'd have more for breakfast this morning! More than a couple of bites of white meat used to give me classic pouch stomach aches before my revision. Not one problem like that since!

Guest guest Posted November 14, 2000 Report Share Posted November 14, 2000 I'd like to thank all of you who have said that you don't have any problem with chicken. I was sort of dreading not liking it after my surgery. And I was especially hating the idea of Joy not being able to eat it. It may be her very favorite food now. But it appears from the responses that like anything else some will be able to eat it and some won't. Takes a real worry away. Regards.

When I got home from the hospital I was only allowed pureed chicken and to tell you the truth - it was GROSS so I stayed away from it. At 4 weeks I was told I could eat a piece of regular broiled chicken and I didn't do that until last night. I broiled 2 small skinless chicken thighs on my little Foreman grill, seasoned them with some paprika and garlic powder and they were DELICIOUS!!!! And, best of all they stayed down. I ate those and then one half of a half of a sweet potatoe. I was stuffed at that point. That's what I still can't believe - how little I can now eat and be FULL TO THE BRIM!!! So far there's really nothing that I can't handle. Yesterday I tried bacon for the first time and I made a 9-grain bread sandwich with sliced deli turkey breast and a little bit of real mayo along with the chicken and my stomach did fine! Amazing since I've been one of the unlucky ones with lots of gas and diarreaha since the surgery. My poops were actually better today! LOL - sorry to get so graphic! Try the chicken again in a few weeks, maybe it'll be more palatable then! Debbie R. Dr. Jerzy Macura Staten Island University Hospital 10/12/00 - 552# BMI 81 (surgery date) 10/17/00 - 533# -19 lbs.
