I'd anyone have scrambled eggs in the puréed phase???? How did it go if you did?

I couldn't wait to get to the puree stage and try eggs for an alternative Protein option! It was like heaven! I could only eat half of the egg at one sitting. It was easy to make the meal last by chewing, chewing, chewing...to savor the flavor and make sure there weren't going to be any issues with the texture or sticking when eating. For some people eggs seem to be hard on their stomach. Good luck, I hope you have good results!

So far so good I have had 4 bites with no issues so far. I made them with milk and a little cheese so they are nice and soft, seems to help. I can't wait for the puréed to be over I am not a fan of puréed things so I'm limited on my options for food. I'm ready to move on haha.

I'm looking forward to the pureed stage, mainly for the scrambled eggs (6 Grams Protein for one egg!) that and applesauce. only 4 days to go not counting today.

eggs were approved for my puréed stage. Mixed mine with Water to make them super soft and moist. I actually had a lot of modified Huevos rancheros in puréed stage.... Refried Beans, egg, cheese and green chili. Yum. Egg and cottage cheese also made a really soft "omelet".

. Looks like I can only do about half of the egg. But it's oh so good.

Can't wait until I can eat poached eggs.

I've had egg beaters twice since starting puree (then saw how little Protein there is compared to real eggs :/), and a severely blenderized hard-boiled egg with a bit of mayo and Pickle Juice for egg salad (yes, I almost always make salad with a bit of pickle juice. Adds flavor and moisture.) The egg beaters are nice loosely scrambled. And the egg salad was heavenly. So far, eggs are the only thing I've found that actually agrees with my stomach. I pureed chicken, and managed two or three bites before my stomach very clearly announced that it had had enough.

I use to love poached eggs too. I tried some the other week and almost gagged. You gotta have some carbs and salt to choke them down. Scrambled eggs weren't bad. But that egg salad recipe sounds great.

Also I just bought egg beaters today because the have 5g of Protein. I think 1 large egg has 6g. Not much difference for the fat, and cholesterol reduction. Hopefully they taste OK. Maybe I will try them with cottage cheese as was suggested.

I decided to go with Eggland's best. I had so many doctors for teachers in my nutrition classes and sometimes it would get confusing. One teacher was all about eating a real egg, using real milk and butter because she thought our bodies were made to process them better than substitutes. Then you get a teacher who is all about using artificial products if it gets your calorie count down. Ahhhh!!! The choices!!! Anyhow I ate my first egg scrambled with a little milk and salt (oh how I enjoyed the salt after all the sweet). I also could only eat half. I am only 25 days out. Can't wait for the addition of some new foods. But have to admit the hunger is under control at this phase. Yeah....

I relied on Scrambled eggs when I first started my "pureed" stage. I would mix in american cheese. At the beginning I would only be able to eat half and egg but it was pure heaven. My dog would enjoy the rest

The first thing I had when I went from full liquids to pureed was scrambled egg whites (with Sriracha sauce). Best darned thing in the world at the time. And to this day, I have egg white omelets every single morning. They have been a godsend to me.

Be well…

      It's been 10 long years! Here is my VSG weight loss surgiversary update..

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL
