My first scramble egg......



Recommended Posts

I'm 2 weeks post op today and have been looking forward to my very first egg. I've been dreaming about it for over a week. Well, it tasted FABULOUS !! Unfortunately - I couldn't finish it - I managed to get in about half. That was almost 3 hours ago and I'm still not hungry. Amazing, since I've been really hungry with the Protein Shakes. It feels good not to be hungry all of the time. I'll be having cottage cheese for lunch today and some pureed Soup for dinner. Sounds delish !!

WOW! You did great with your first egg. Mine seemed to grow larger on the plate. The more I tried to eat, the larger the remains seemed.

Are you allowed to have sunny side up eggs at this point in the game? For some reason, they are easier for me than scrambled. I just cook mine in a little bit of Pam spray.

Congratulations on adding some soft foods in. You are right about not feeling full on the shakes - they just go right on through. The more solid foods you get, the better you'll find your full point. Happy Eating!

Do you have any advice? Like on how much you took in a bite? I'm getting kinda anxious on starting to eat...I don't want to overdo it!

My Sister bought me a silver baby spoon for my post op recovery present. It is the perfect size. Impossible to take big scoops with it. I put it down between bites for 30 seconds to a minute and relaxed until I felt things move along. I also bought myself a great small plate from the Thrift store that is really cool and my egg looked great on it.

The small utensils is a great trick. You can get cocktail forks and spoons at many stores - perfect size for small bites!

Sounds like your first egg went great. I couldn't tolerate eggs until several months post-op. I remember my first try at a scramled egg around 6 weeks post-op...not good! I ate about 1/4 of it & felt like I needed to puke for at least two hours. :confused1: I do fine with them now, thankfully.

My advice to anyone trying eggs for the first time post-op is to take it very slow & if it doesn't go well the first time, give your tummy a few more weeks & try again. Oh, and don't expect to eat 1 whole egg for a long while! LOL! :svengo:

I started eggs, "fried" in a non-stick pan but usually I scramble it. At first I did good to get half of it down, but all of a sudden about four days ago, I can eat the entire egg. Yay, more protein! Friday was five weeks since I had surgery, and I guess it was the day before that when I first ate the entire egg. Just all of a sudden I can eat more, I ate 2 oz of tuna salad today. Tuna, a little lite mayo and I add a little of those mini dill pickles for some flavor. Today was the first day I could eat that much tuna!

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
