I ate chicken!!!!!

Hi all, As I've posted recently and some have commented back to me on... I have problems keeping meat down. Everything from shrimp, crab, oily fish, beef and chicken. Tuna seemed to be the only thing I could reliably keep down. Anyway, last night I was out with people from a support group and we went to Chili's. I decided to go ahead and try chicken again (though I was supposed to wait 2 more months... I'm sick of baby-ing my pouch!) So I split some chicken with another post-op patient. It was grilled but very very moist. I had one small piece which people at the table agreed was 1 oz. I ate it VERY slowly, and kept it down! I'm so excited! I'm going to continue to take it slow but I felt this was a major victory toward getting back into the meat-eating game! I'll always love tofu, but it's hard to get vegatarian protein dishes when out at restaurants when you're avoiding meat. I'm happy! Amy Lap RNY 10/22/03 349/238/180??

Congrats!!! It is the little things in life that can put the most rediculous smile on my face too!!! Tanya

I'm so excited you can eat more now! Whoo HOOO!!! I still have "issues" with chicken. Most often it talks to me and says, "what - are you CRAZY! I'm going to be EVIL TO YOU NOW!!!!" aaarrrggghhhhh

Congratulations!! Have you tried eating pork such as ham or sausage? Chicken has not been my friend, but pork I tolerate fairly well. I went on Vacation this past week and ate at several buffet bars and found that the oriental chicken in a glaze was pretty easy going down. Good luck. Marilyn 362/278
