that if you try foods that did not work out in the beginning of your post op or even before surgery, they might work out for you down the road.

For me the incredible edible egg was an item that I absolutely loved before surgery. Then I did something stupid, I puréed a hard boiled egg with some light mayo in the puréed stage. First, I think the smell of that purred egg salad made me gag, then I ate a tiny bit of it and that was it. I could stand the smell of eggs or even the sight of them unless they were used in cooking.

I tried every couple of weeks in all different ways, omelettes, fried, poached, scrambled and every time that smell and taste gagged me and the egg felt like lead in my pouch. So I have avoided them for about 4 months now.

Yesterday I had a CRAVING for eggs! I was terrified to try them but the more I thought about it, the more I wanted them. I started by making cottage cheese pancakes which has 3 eggs, a cup of cottage cheese and 1/3 c. Of flour. They are very eggie. I loved them!

Today I decided I would try a Mexican omelet for lunch. I figured if I used taco meat which I love, cheese and tomatoes. It just might work. Guess what they smelled fabulous and they feel great in my tummy. Now, I made a 2 egg omelet and split it with my hubby and still could not eat my half. I felt short by a few bites.

I am looking forward to poached eggs next!

Woo how! I got my incredible edible egg back! More Protein options!

The moral of the story is, don't give up on those things that you did not like in the beginning. Your system may come around yet!

I agree - if at first you don't succeed, try, try, again.

At first I could not tolerate raw veggies or fruit. I craved a salad and every time I tried, I would be doubled over in pain. Cherries would taste so good, then 20 minutes later I would be cursing them!

At about the 15 month mark I was finally able to tolerate a basic salad - romaine lettuce and some cherry tomato. I was in heaven. I also now know that I can have 3-5 cherries and I feel OK. Any more than that and I run into trouble. I know I can eat a little bit of raw veggie and be OK. Spinach is still on my no-no list, almost two years out.

When I was allowed to start regular foods at four weeks, I had some steamed cauliflower with cheese. Miss Tummy punished me for hours. I tried it again at six months and was fine.

I agree!! This just happened to me this week too. I have tried steak several times post sleeve and could not tolerate it or any other red meat. Then, this week I cooked a steak and ate it just fine. It tasted great!!

Glad you can tolerate the eggs now. Eggs are an awesome food. Enjoy!!
