My NUT cleared me for mushies today. My lunch after: a scrambled egg made in butter with half a laughing cow cheese. I could only eat half of it, but wow it was good after all those cloying chemicals. Next up: refried beans? Ricotta bake? Pumpkin-coconut curry soup?? THE OPTIONS ARE ENDLESS!

Mmmmmmm....I still love wet scrambled eggs with a pat of butter folded in and a pinch of cheese.

Guacamole, hummus, ham salad, shrimp salad, crab cakes...

Egg beaters (all egg whites) with 2 tsp of homemade vegetarian spaghetti sauce added while it cooks - I love this variation!

sounds good. cottage cheese added to scrabbled eggs ain't bad either and adds another punch of protein!

If you like dill, it's great in a creamy cheesy scrambled egg!

Also the ricotta bake is delicious and amazing and I adored them when I was on mushies.

Good ideas, all! I had cream of wheat (with a half-scoop of genepro!) this morning. FOOOOOD!

Throw in a big hand full of spinach first and cook it down before you scramble your egg. Great way to get in a couple servings of veggies because they cook way down. I also use the laughing cow cheese with it. 5 mths out and its still my favorite Breakfast most mornings! It was heaven on a plate when I was first allowed to eat food!

Sometimes I also put a spoonful of salsa on it too. YUM!

I liked 1 poached egg on some refried beans with salsa at this stage.

My favorite with eggs are egg whites/Beaters with:

• goat cheese/feta + tarragon alone or Herbes de Provence
• cheddar or monterey jack + cumin + red chili powder + hot sauce + guacamole + cilantro
• cottage cheese + black pepper + thyme (or Herbes de Provence)
• parmesan or mozarella + italian seasoning
• Ragu double cheddar + thyme + black pepper
• Swiss + parsley + black pepper
• Gouda + chives + black pepper
• All the above go fine with onions, bell peppers, mushrooms, ground turkey or chicken. I usually use olive oil with eggs.

And for lunch/dinner I love, love LOVE egg drop soup: egg beaters + chicken broth + soy sauce + tofu + ginger + garlic + shiratake noodles

Question.

I'm still a week away from mushies, but love eggs with hot sauce. Can we eat spicy food?

My surgeon/nutritionist list spicy foods "as tolerated." Some foods you may have to test to see if/when your sleeve is okay with it. I've had no problem with spicy foods, but others have.
