March 5, 201313 yr Eggs are often the topic of discussion as they are one of the biggest obstacles for many bandsters to consume.
March 5, 201313 yr BTW-I try to mix them with turkey sausage, omelettes, salsa, veggies so that they go down easier. Still, if you take small enough bites and chew it to death it should pass through the stoma. But we all struggle with bite size don't we? tmf
March 5, 201313 yr I have never had a problem with eggs. Cooked any way they go down. But everyone is different.
March 5, 201313 yr I have eaten eggs since I could eat real food.. actually when I was on soft foods, I had some eggbeaters scrambled but I can eat real eggs easily... I do put some turkey sausage and some cheese in them to make omelettes.. they all go down easily... even fried eggs do well as long as I keep the bites small...
March 5, 201313 yr If I don't chew them well I do have problems with them, odd, but I do and I have a friend who is 3 years post op and she has the same issue. Honestly, I think the biggest problem with anything is chewing. No matter what you eat your must chew, chew, chew!!
March 5, 201313 yr Sometimes I have problems with eggs. If i have scrambled eggs I usually whisk with some skim milk to keep them moist. If they are dry I can not eat them. It is all trial and error. Best of luck.
March 5, 201313 yr Yeah I have to mix with non fat milk, or turkey sausage, or my fave over medium because the egg yolk makes them easier to go down.
March 6, 201313 yr No problem with eggs. I do usually add a slice of cheese for more protein. Sure you do I do too but I do it cuz I love :wub: cheese :wub: :wub: :wub:

The bariatric nurse at my Drs office said there is sometimes a buildup of mucous in the pouch in the morning. I even tried to eat Greek yogurt and even with that it feels like its getting stuck in the morning. It's coffee then a Protein shake in the morning for me
March 11, 201313 yr Slightly off topic but those who mix with turkey sausage what brand of sausage do you use ? I haven't found one I liked yet I like the Jimmy Dean Turkey Sausage Crumbles. Taste like the real deal to me. I also use them on flatbread pizzas, sautéed up with some fresh mushrooms, mmmmm-good!
Does any one else have trouble with eggs?
