So I have been browsing all the sleeve websites and some say pureed food 3 days post op. I had my sleeve Monday the 25 th and actually still get hungry pains and growling. Was curious if I mushed scrambled eggs and had them about a tablespoon full if it would hurt??

I'm day 17 and still have a little bit of hard time getting them down I'd be careful .my doctor advised 2 weeks of pure liquid..I wasn't allowed eggs till14 days...check with your doctor!

Doctor has me on the same diet as before surgery yogurt pudding jello protein shakes juice and water. But I go Monday for my visit and I will talk to him about it. I think I miss chewing more than anything. Time for some sugar free gum lol

scrambled eggs are a lot harder to digest than you think. I still have a hard time with egg in this form and I was sleeved 3/12/12

Crystal I hear you on the chewing thing!! Be careful with gum...don't swallow it! ...lol what about sugar free ice pops?! They work for me when I wanna chew a little ps ..can someone tell me how to update my weight loss on my ticker? I can't seem to find how! Duhhhhh

follow your docs instructions alot of people chew and spit....try that if you miss chewing

I'd at least wait until 3 weeks out! It would be a shame if you ate scrambled eggs so soon and it caused a leak in your staple line. My surgeon had us on a full liquid diet for the first 3 weeks, 3 weeks of pureed, 3 weeks of soft and then regular food. I in no way wanted to get a leak in my staple line, so i followed the rules of my surgeon.

I was on Clear liquids only until 9 days out. Now I am on full liquids until I'm 5 weeks out then I will go to purees. At 3 weeks out I tried a bite of a poached egg and I suffered...I spent 2 hours praying not to barf. I wasn't suppose to, but I couldn't get a shake in and I was struggling with the shakes.

The stomach pains you are feeling are not necessarily hunger pains. I can't tell the difference between being hungry, being full, having gas, having bloating, and....HEALING pains. They all feel alike. So every time your stomach growls, flips, twists, you have a wave, if you think you are hungry, then you are going to be hungry, but the truth is, you could actually be having acid reflux, it could be healing (like a throbbing cut as it heals), it could be hunger (if you haven't had enough liquids) or after you eat, it could be you are full.

Try changing your perception of the stomach pains and work on getting your 64 ounces of Fluid in.

Your stomach is still healing and I can't even imagine trying to get food in the first 3 weeks in.

Thanks everyone for the info. I'm not going to eat anything not recommended by my doctor but I was just curious if it was chewed really well if it would hurt. The surgery has not fixed my emotional, stress, and bored eating. I still have the urge to eat like I did before surgery and i'm working on channeling those anxieties in a different way but as we all know it takes time. Also I have read so many different diets out there post op. I've had to pretty much stop eating and smoking at the same time its so hard!!! But it helps getting encouragement from you guys to keep me on the right path in this journey
