MISSING: Mr. Funky Chicken

MISSING: Mr. Funky Chicken

So my dear old friend Mr. Funky Chicken is missing. Well missing is the wrong word, its more like he's avoiding me. He visits but won't stay. If you should happen to come across Mr. FC please, please tell him I'm concerned and missing him.

Oh, Funky Chicken when will you come back to me and stay??? Why have you forsaken me? I miss you. I'm lost without you. I'm struggling to know what to do with Mr Moo and Mr Pot Belly. Why are you making me try new recipes? Why are you testing my new stomach so harshly?

I have tried chicken three times since being able to eat meat again (pureed included), I'm now 9 weeks out. Each time I throw it right back up even with as little as just one bite. I love chicken. I love home made rotisserie chicken, wings, thighs, drumsticks, and breasts. I love it in soup, pies, stews, casseroles and sauces. I love it fried, baked, boiled, roasted and grilled... I'll take my chicken any way you wanna serve it to me. Well, maybe not raw, but if it's cooked I'll eat it... (okay, not fried, not any l longer, so stop nit-picking, a.k.a judging now).

When you eat your Mr. Chicken, please think of me and send a little message out in to the universe to make it so MY Mr. Funky Chicken can return to my life.

Thank you for your support. I hope to renew this relationship and given the chance I promise to make it stronger and healthier than it ever was... all I need is My Mr. Funky Chicken back.

Sigh.

Was this supposed to be a blog post? It's very confusing.

I've found that chicken breast isn't so great for my stomach unless it's cooked in a sauce. Chicken thighs and legs are much happier for my stomach.

I'm sorry you were confused. It is what it is - a humorous way to express my frustration and anxiety about not being able to tolerate chicken, at least not yet. Thank you for your input, I've only tried breast so far. I hadn't considered that the dark meat might be tolerated differently.

Dark meat tends to be more moist due to the fat content, so that helps. In fact, I prefer less lean meats in general now.

It took me a while before I could tolerate chicken. You might just have to wait a while and try again.

I enjoyed your post. I found it really clucking entertaining.

I agree that thighs go down so much easier than breasts. I have chicken enchiladas made with breast meat at least 4 days a week. I had a hard time with water, chicken and cheddar cheese after surgery.

First off, WOW, congratulations on your hard work, it has paid off!!! Look at those numbers! I am to be okay with COLD water or hottish tea as long as it is flavored. The cold water is a big change. I didn't like it before surgery, cool or room temperature but not cold. Cheddar cheese seems to be good too... I tried it for the first time a couple days ago. Good to know I might be able to reconnect with my long lost friend.

9 weeks is really early. I didn't even try solid food until 9 weeks. Chicken and pork took a long time. They were tougher than many other things for quite a while.

Early on, deli ham and chicken were easiest. Sliced super thin, they are moister, and sit easier than anything I cooked myself.

Thank you for your feedback. I am finding deli meat too ??? something. Greasy? Additives? not sure but they haven't felt very good the couple times I've tried.
