six days post...Scrambled eggs. Bad idea?

Not really... I tolerated them. All three bites I was able to take. However I'm starting to realize that it wasn't so much that I wanted the eggs, just the flavor and the salt...am I weird?

Were you told soft foods so soon out?

No...I was being rebellious. I'm doing fine with my Protein shakes and Water. Just couldn't fight the taste in my mouth.

I so know the feeling. The no salt cream of chicken soup just doesn't do it. Have to think long term though. I put a little salt in my soup and it kind of helped! Good luck and be careful!!!

That is really soon for eggs...

These were my instructions.

Post-op

Week 1 -2: liquid diet

Week 3: pureed phase

Week 4 - 5: soft food - My current phase

Week 6 and beyond: all food as tolerated

You should follow your post op instructions to a tee, as this will prevent complications with your new pouch. Remember why you started this journey to become a healthier you. Plus you'll eventually be able to eat all kind of foods.

The beginning stage is supposed to teach you discipline.

Just my 2 cents.

Lol!!

I think it's a bit early...but I DO understand the need for salt!!!

So really, you weren't asking the question from a "I want to protect my health and well being" point of view, you were simply wondering if you were the only one who craved foods off your diet? :rolleyes:

Obviously, the answer the title is, yes, it's a bad idea. Your stomach is numb, your staple line is healing and you are risking a leak when you do not follow doctor's orders. I can't imagine an egg is worth that. But as you were obviously not asking that question... ;)

No, you are not weird for wanting an egg or anything else not on plan. Giving into those cravings is what got me fat in the first place, though, and because I love ME, I had major surgery for ME and I really don't want to go back to the hospital over ANY food item, I stuck to plan while I was healing. I did this to get healthy, NOT to give in to urges that I know are bad for me. B)

I had a few bites of my sons scrambled egg yesterday. I'm 8 days out. I hear ya. It satisfied my craving but when I say a few bites it was prob 1tsp all together.

  • 3 weeks later...

Well I am 5 days out and been following diet to a T....until this am If I looked at a popsicle I would gag. I ate about two tablespoons of scrambled egg blended with skim milk. I know it wasn't on my list but I hate broth and coffee so eating jello and popsicles is not doing the job.I cant start protein drinks till day 14 liquids for 6 weeks going to be a challenge but not impossible,
