Deviled Eggs?



Recommended Posts

I was just thinking, where do deviled eggs fall on the post-op plate? I know they are pretty good for Protein, low in carbs, but high in calories because of the Mayonnaise. How "bad" would they be considered? And are they considered a soft food?

Soft boiled eggs, deviled eggs, egg salad, scrambled and poached eggs are all in the soft foods category. They are a good choice and I can only eat one egg no matter how it is cooked or prepared so I don't really worry about the calories :rolleyes:

During the soft food stage...and even today I had a really hard time with scrambled eggs. Only time I retched up any food was with scrambled eggs. But - read a post Tiffykins made and she said to try deviled eggs. Wow - love em. Okay, I don't LOVE them but I can get them down and they are a great way to get protien in the morning. Yeah Deviled eggs...just remember to chew, chew and chew.

Egg salad and deviled eggs are awesome -- and they don't need much mayo for the small amounts you can eat. I make egg salad with one small boiled egg and about a tsp of mayo + a little mustard and it's delish. I think deviled eggs don't need that much mayo either. Plus, we do need to eat some fat, it's good for us. :)

They were on my "mushy/puree/soft stage". I also mixed mine with non-fat, plain Greek yogurt and different spices/seasonings or even dry dressing Ranch or italian dressing with a little mustard, or spicy mustard to give some twang to cut the fat instead of mayo.< /p>

I, personally, like fods that are more calorically dense. I can barely get in 600 calories as it is. So, deviled eggs are awesome!

Also, about scrambled eggs, I can only eat eggs that I make myself because I make them over super-low heat, don't add any milk, and I cook them in regular butter. The result is a super soft consistency that I can swallow easily. Rubbery eggs won't work with my sleeve.

Mmmmmmm, eggs...

I eat bread -- or crackers. If I have egg salad, I will use half a slice of wheat bread or 3-4 wholegrain spelt crackers. Yummy!

I've recently discovered that Greek yogurt is a good substitute for cream cheese but I hadn't thought about mayo. I make great deviled eggs and I know at least my husband would love me to make more. Hmmm. eggs are on sale this week.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
