I keep reading about people who have a heard time eating eggs. I love eggs and have access to farm fresh, free-range chicken, duck, guinea, and quail eggs. I would be soooo sad if I had to give up the beautiful hen fruit.

Does anyone know WHY eggs seem to be hard on the digestive tract? Are eggs a problem just in the beginning or long-term as well?

I have never left eggs entirely. Egg drop Soup in early stages, eggs in many forms since. They've never bothered me, the Protein is great, and the taste twangs my buds.

I am addicted to egg beaters. They have a new 3 cheese which is so good. I also used egg whites in the beginning and made egg salad with low fat mayo. So good.

I had a problem with eggs as soon as I got to soft foods, at about 6 weeks. It was the only food that I have ever had a problem with. Fast forward to 6 months and I have no problem with them at all. I asked my stalker-nutritionist about it, and all she could come up with was that possibly the amount of Iron in the eggs may not have agreed with the smaller stomach. It was a guess on her part, but she did say that she had heard about eggs from several of her gastric patients. All you can really do it try them and see. Some folks it may not be an issue. I had 1 whole and 1 egg white this am for Breakfast after my workout. I'm fine.

I'd obviously ask my doc first, but does egg drop soup count as full liquids or mushy food since it has the egg in it? That's one of my favorite soups!

I'm fortunate. I tried eggs for the first time yesterday and it sat well. Maybe it depends how it's cooked. Mine was over medium. Also tried it poached.

I tried egg for the first time yesterday. It was delicious until 5 minutes later when I threw it up. Haha

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
