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

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
