are you suppose to be eating chicken this soon? i was still on liquids until 2 weeks out. then pureed. could be the thigh meat -- chicken is a sticky meat, i had problemsssssssssssssssssssssssss so bad with it in october i had to go to the ER. try softer meats, perhaps white meat, and sma**** up a bit and chew it really really really well. Might check with your wls on what you can eat right now. Stacey W

Too early for chicken. Too early for solid foods. You should be on liquids still. Cut it out and get back to basics. kp

Your doctor should have provided you with a list of items you should be eating at this point. The reason you are so ill is it is WAY too soon for anything solid. You need to find any paperwork given to you from your surgeon and see what your diet should be at this point. I know every surgeon is different, but most you don't get "real" food until at least 4 weeks out. If for some reason you don't have a list of what your diet should consist of, call your surgeons office FIRST thing tomorrow! Jennifer 355/223/150

Marie, Ditto what they all said.. I had my surgery on 11/16 and I am still not eating that type of stuff.... I have to wait until 6 weeks out for that.... I am still on pureed foods.... I hope you get some answers from your surgeon's office....

Your chicken is stuck! You might need to go and have it removed if you cannot bring it up! Call your surgeon first thing in am! I don't need to echo what every one else has said! Good Luck!

Ummm, my patient manual from the bariatric center at St Mary Mercy says Stage 1 is the first week clear liquids (Nov 30 through Dec 7). Stage 2 is week two, full liquids (Ending Dec 14). Stage 3 lasts two weeks and includes ground and soft meats combined with broth. That would mean mushing up the meat in the broth, and not until nest week. So, I think you are a week ahead of yourself, slow down!!! This week's foods should be able to go through a sieve. Marie, first mush anything up REALLY well. Then take only tiny bites and be sure each is chewed to liquid before you swallow. The foamies happened to me until I gave up on most chicken (rotisserie thighs were okay but not after they were refrigerated for very long) as a bad deal and went with chili (Wendys) and refried beans. I remember the misery well, and I suffered it several times until I learned just what I could eat. I slowed down my eating too, so I could stop before I triggered a mess. I don't think I ever had a meal above 2.5 ounces in this stage. This is when I bought a box of store brand quart sized freezer bags so I could be ready for the foamies (or more) anywhere. There are still some in my purse and car. Are you sticking to the plan of only trying one new food a day? That will help determine the cause of any more foamies.

You should only be on liquids and soft mushy foods. It is way too soon for any kind of meat. I was only eating cream soups and mashed potatoes and things like that. I would call Dr Zeni's office and talk to Paula. I think you need to slow down. Stacey B

Yes I have had, I found that if I eat first thing in the morning (high protein) and continue real small high protein, no sugar and no fat meals throughout the day it helps. If I eat too fast I get very sick. Slow down and eat more frequently.
