Eggs, Glorious Eggs......Oh, how I've missed you!



Recommended Posts

Today is my first day of soft foods.

My post surgery plan included 10 days of Clear liquids, and 10 more of full liquids, and now soft foods! Yay! I was able to eat (very slowly) two eggs. It's like heaven after three weeks of nothing but drinking my day away. :o)

Last night was my high school reunion of 35 years. And today starts the next phase of my new life.

I've never enjoyed two eggs more. LOL

What was/will be your first "chewable" thing?

An egg hopefully will be my first...in another week. I have been on liquids religiously for a total of four and a half weeks now, I am 2 weeks post op. I watch my family eat eggs every morning. I feel like a National Geographic camera man watching. :)

I just fried mine with a little bit of spray margarine. They were delicious!

A scrambled egg with a sprinkle of shredded cheese was my first "real" food, too. And it was so effing good! Of course, almost two weeks later, I'm getting really sick of scrambled eggs for Breakfast every day. ;)

I had a one egg "omelet". One egg with a pinch of 2% cheese and a tbsp. of chopped deli turkey. Could only eat half but it was amazing!

I am still pre-op, but my list says that I can have soft boiled and poached, but not scrambled eggs when I get to that stage. :(

      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? 🤷‍♀️
