chicken problems

I love chicken but every time I eat it I gag, feel like I am going to throw up...I bake it with just spices, naked, not over cooked and dry.  Anyone have a recipe that may help?  It is odd, I can eat pot roast, pork, fish, hamburger, shrimp,small strips of steak...but not chicken. 

Hello, I am only 9 days out from my surgery, so I have zero personal experience to share...HOWEVER - I found a great web site that has all kinds of great ideas for food, created by a woman that had WLS. It is "The world according to egg face." Funny name, but her site is great & I cant wait to try some of her cooking ideas! Maybe you can find new ideas on here? Just a thought & good luck!

Sorry you are having this problem with chicken.    At 5.5 years I still struggle with the white meat of chicken unless it is fried.  I've never had a problem with dark meat at all. I wouldn't give up on it.  I couldn't eat scrambled eggs for years and you would think those would go down easy but now I have them almost every day.

thank you, you are right it is white meat that i eat...maybe i will try a thigh.

White meat chicken was the hardest thing for me to tolerate too...I still can't eat as much of it as I can other meat.  Everyone's sleeve seems to have their own preferences :-) 

I have never had a problem with anything but can tell you that I do better with dark meat than white and do better with white if it is really moist.  Mostly with breast, I will poach it in some broth, then chop it well and make chicken salad with half light mayo, half greek yoguart.  I can eat roasted leg quarters but almost never do baked breast.  They just get too dry. 

yummm sounds great...I will try it . thank you.

Hi, I am 9 yrs out and I can't eat chicken either. My nut suggested pounding the meat first before cooking. Chicken salad goes down easy but makes my pouch hurt. So I will not eat chicken again. Hope this helps.

I had a hard time with chicken early out, too.  Since chicken is one of my favorite foods and my go to for protein I was determined to be able to eat it.  I tried it every week or so until one time I was able to keep it down without feeling nauseous.  Now I eat it regularly with no problem.  I don't care for white meat unless it is very juicy but it's not because I don't tolerate it, I just prefer the dark meat.

Lea, chicken, esp white meat is hard for newbies...the white meat has the least amount of fat so it ends up being the driest of all the parts.

Maybe take a break from chicken for awhile...and when you do try again, use the dark meat. When I bake chicken thighs, I add a sauce made of honey, yellow mustard, and dry ranch dressing (mix together and then pour over the chicken).
