Is this normal?

[becomingmandikaye 262]

My first non-liquid food is a mashed scrambled egg. Is it normal not to be able to eat one whole egg? I ate maybe a quarter of it (probably not even that much), and hit that moment of too much food.

Yes, very normal.

yes. Think about it, most of your stomach was just removed and after that kind of trauma everything is incredibly swollen inside. For a while you will feel extra restriction. 6 or 7 months post op for most people the last of the swelling is gone and that is the true size of your sleeve. Many people find that at that point they can suddenly eat more and worry that they stretched their sleeve (which is not actually possible)

I had probably 1/4 of a scrambled egg as my first soft food that 1/4 was hard to do.

I will say this - that quarter scrambled egg was the best tasting scrambled egg in all of the world.

I can't wait!!! I have never craved an egg or cottage cheese so much in my life.

Very normal. Seen that same amount mentioned several times before. About a quarter of an egg. I'm kind of nervous for when I start my soft foods because up until now Soups have made me feel kind of satisfied but not quite "full" (but I'm not hungry in general) so I'm not sure what to expect yet!

Very normal.... early out you are very swollen from surgery.... so you can't eat much, but it increases a little each week.

For me i was able to finish half from week 3-5 & whole egg at around week 6....

Even now, i am starting week 9, i can't do more than a whole egg regardless of how it is prepared.
