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.

I didn't do so well with eggs. Well, egg whites in particular. For now, I am going to wait and try again later. I sure could use that Protein but it wasn't digesting well for me.

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…

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜

      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.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        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.
