Scrambled Egg - 2 Weeks Out



Recommended Posts

so im 2 weeks out, had a scrambled egg for lunch today as I'm now allowed soft/puree

Can eat a full scrambled egg, no problem!

Is that strange?

I see posts about people who can only eat 1/3 or 1/2

Bit concerned about how I'm not feeling any restrictions with a whole scrambled egg (scrambled with about 60ml of milk) took me maybe 20mins to eat and at the end I don't feel...anything. Not full, not hungry, nothing!

Cheers

Your avatar pic KILLS me. Love it!

At this stage, your stomach is going to fluctuate a lot. Don't overthink it. If you're not eating more than a cup of food at a time, you're certainly not stretching anything. You've got gas and acid and settling going on. For instance, yesterday morning I had a Protein Shake and drank almost all of it. This morning I had a shake and could get less than half of it down before I felt full.

It's strange how some doctors will allow certain foods before others. My surgeon's instructions indicate week 5 for eggs. I can't imagine why that would be the case, but it is....

Alrightly cool! I'll keep at it (cos it was amazing) and maybe have another one tomorrow and see how it goes!

Ive noticed i have 0 problem with full shakes as well! Its weird!

Im just worried about stuffing it up since theres 0 restriction!

Also, no gas or acid! hmmm

I'm feeling the same way. Today was my first day of purees and I had a scrambled egg with a little bit of cheese for Breakfast (no milk). I ate it all slowly and felt satisfied. I enjoyed a little bit of chicken salad (canned chicken pureed in my food processor) with light mayo for lunch and mashed potatoes (1/4 cup) for dinner. I also had a small piece of mushroom-spinach quiche for a snack as well as liquids and a Protein concoction/shake that I put together. Everything went down well, no issues! Though, I know that I'm still getting acquainted with my new tummy -- every time I eat I wonder how it will feel. :)

It's strange how having this surgery makes me question when I don't have problems! Hoping it continues (no reflux, etc.) and I'm satisfied with just small amounts from here on out!

Best to you!

It is bizarre how they vary!!

Did he say why you have to wait 5 weeks?

I was able to eat eggs at soft foods, after mushies. Alot of people for some reason have trouble with eggs after VSG. I never had. I have one every moring for Breakfast.< /p>

It could be that your tummy, or slummy, is still numb and swollen and all out of whack. I was able to suck down shakes and what not without any restriction. It wasn't until I ate meat that I really felt it, and that was about a month and a half out.

I can probably do an egg now rather comfortably. I wouldn't worry about it too much :)

Just be glad that you can eat and every bite doesn’t make you feel like you’re choking and like you want to puke. Because that’s how I feel. I’m three weeks out and am miserable! I wake up with pain in my stomach and already feel full like I want to puke. I have made a scrambled egg twice using lots of milk to make it soft and I can only get down about an 1/8 of it over the course of an hour 😭 Protien shakes I'm burned out on and can only take sips from. If I set an alarm to take a sip every 15 minutes, I might could finish a shake over the course of a day. Water and Gatorade even have me feeling nauseous.

Good luck to you; I hope my dilemmas pass soon!

      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.
