Not so good last night

Well yesterday late afternoon I began to feel these really sharp pains in my abdomen and I couldn't figure out why. In fact I thought perhaps they were cramps although this hasn't happened to me since my twenties. And of course I started to believe that it was from the surgery. Well it appears that the chicken I had for lunch didn't agree with me - needless to say I was hailing to the porcelin god all night. Has this happened to anyone - eating food from a place you are very familiar with and suddenly wham! I guess I just want to know if this is normal.

Not at all uncommon, I know a lot of us have experienced eating something one day and it goes just fine and you eat the exact same thing again another day and it makes you sick as a dog!

Hope you are feeling better now!

Oh, also, a lot of post ops have issues with chicken in general...too dry or dense or something? Food for thought...(pun intended!)

Again, hope you are feeling better now!

I do feel better now. That's real interesting about the chicken, because it's not my favorite, but I thought I would switch what I've been eating and give it a try - so I did for a couple of days but will steer clear for now. Thanks for your help

I find with chicken you have to chew REALLY REALLY well!  I even take a small sip of water to make it mushy before swallowing, since chicken can be so dry.  I've puked chicken and since making the mush I've been ok. 

I am 4 months post op now, and I find this happens to me still several times a week. I have given up on the chicken brest, and eat the dark meat now. The dark meat seems to settle better with it being moist.  I still cant handle any left overs at this point.  Hope all woks out

Yes, it's happened to me several times.  I'd love to say you get used to it...I haven't yet. lol

I don't do all that well with chicken for the most part. Ground meats or pork are my best bets. But no matter what it is Ihave to chew really well.
