Eggs and stages



Recommended Posts

It sounds like most of us have eggs on our puree plan. I know mine specifies "scrambled", but I'm wondering how the rest of you treat eggs during this stage. I'd love a hard boiled or deviled egg right now but I'm not sure how big of a difference the texture makes.

I am 3 months post op and unless I really chew, I still struggle with hard boiled eggs. I only have 1.6cc's in my band.

You can have about any style egg. I first tried hard boiled by squishing them with a fork. Over time I could no long stand the taste of them. Although I do enjoy an omlet when going out for Breakfast. The dog gets most of it, but cheese is good:)

You know what I find funny, on my Stage 3: pureed Foods it specifically states NO scrambled eggs. I can have poached eggs. One more week till I get pureed foods! :-)

I've had hardboiled. I just dice them up really small and take care to chew really well.

I am with par1959. I always loved eggs. For some crazy reason I can no longer stand the taste of them! I have tried them every way the can be made. Yuck.

I would add some mayo if trying hard boiled that early out. Moisture is the key.

I started with scrambled 2 weeks out and added a touch of milk to make them soft but By the next week I was on to boiled! I Eat eggs almost everyday but not always the yolk it just depends. We have chickens so free eggs all the time!

Jealous! Surprisingly, we're actually allowed to have chickens in the city here but I'm pretty sure my landlord would lay an egg herself if she found one in the yard, lol.

I ended up being lazy and just going with refried Beans, but eggs are still on the agenda :)

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
