Hi I did the same thing and I did not have any problem. I was on stage 2 when I started my scramble eggs. I have had it several time and if I try to eat it now I gag. I have stopped the checking broth and Soup. All I am eating is Muscle Milk and Water. I don't like yogurt, cottage cheese, pudding, tired of Jello, and don't like the after tase when I trying to eat a sugar free ice pop.

Hi! I start purée tomorrow and was wondering If I can just coo scrambled eggs normally or do they have to be super loose? I really don't like them too loose. I've followed everything so far so I don't want to hurt my pouch. Also want to put a little ketchup on it, is that ok? Thanks!

When i ate scrambled eggs i just did them regular, even put a little cheese on it and i used ketchup, but only take a couple buts then wait to see how your pouch handles it

If your just starting puréed foods I wouldn't eat eggs yet, not matter how they are done, your doctors odder s are there for a reason, your insides are still healing and solid foods will put unnecessary pressure on your insides. Remember this is the rest of your life not a race. :). Have fun

Funny how each doctor is different. In the meantime very very very slow and chew lots. If you have any difficulty STOP. I would suggest 2mins between each mouthful, as it takes a while to get a reaction and or the full feeling after swallowing a mouthful, as the last one could still be going down.

It is odd how each dr. is different.

But I agree with you.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
