Eggs

[smb1966 129]

I use the meal reminder app and set it for the number of meals/snacks I need per day. That way you know when to eat and believe me that alarm gets pretty annoying because you think man I just ate. This way your head hunger can't convince you your hungry because your app is saying ita not time to eat.

Ok cool, how does the clock work for someone like me who should be sipping all day??

Well as it turns out I have an absess I dont know what the treatment entails but I can say that I am thankful that I am getting pain medicatiin. I have been in so much pain since last monday so I know they will give me pain medication while im in the hospital. Could this all be over a little hard boild egg! I will never again in my life even make hard boiled eggs much less eat them!

How far out past preop are you

The abscess? No that comes from one of your incisions not healing properly. I had a really nasty on years ago after my hysterectomy. I had to have a nurse come out for wound care.

As for eating eggs. I'll admit I feel a little guilty eating them even though I buy cage free. However I need them to meet my Protein goals. I probably eat eggs every day. Thankfully they don't upset my stomach no matter how I prepare them.

I love hardboiled eggs that why I was using them as a snack. But the Dr told me yesterday that the white part of the egg is extremely difficult to digest. He suggested that I eat it warm off the stove or smashed up in eggsalad or what ever. However it will be a cold day in you know where before I'm brave enough to try them again… just sayin… .

I am a week post op. 10/20 was surgery day

[smb1966 129]

@@lizag234 you are only a few days post op. Based on my experience I had one episode of head hunger around that 2nd week and it was when Hubby made tacos which is my favorite. It was extremely frustrating and I had to go to another area in the house to avoid the smell even. I drank my Protein and Water and made it through. The next time he made them. I just stuck to my guns saying there is no wway your hungry you just want it. Drank my water and kept my self busy. I started using the meal timer on wrek 3 when I progressed to soft/pureed food. When it went off I ate, in between I focused on my water and sometimes crystal light peach tea. I wish you luck but your doing great I think everyone finds their tolerable place within weeks 3-6. Please feel free to message me any time if you need to talk. It is nice to have someone to share and compare notes with.

Thanks for posting that link, Inner Surfer Girl. That is interesting!

What I love about eggs is how easy they are to make, plus tasty, plus healthy…not too many foods are so ideal! I like the fact that eggs provide at least a small amount of all essential nutrients (except Vitamin C) if you eat the whole egg. If you skip the yolk, you miss a bunch of Vitamins and minerals, but of course you skip the fat and a bunch of calories!

I am definitely in the "eat the yolk" camp. Otherwise, why bother!

I eat one scrambled egg every day. I love eggs

[Madeleine Renee 77]

I used two eggs every morning. Could not wait after my bipass until I would be allowed to eat eggs...

Well, they just about make me throw up. The smell, the texture, not good.

Once in a while I scramble 1, bit of cheese on it. Its ok but, I don't look forward to it anymore, I miss my eggs...

[MrsSugarbabe 727]

I love eggs!! Boiled, scrambled, fried. I typically eat one for Breakfast each on Saturday and Sunday and the occasional boiled egg during the week. It's amazing how filling one egg can be now. Size-wise it is the perfect meal.

I'm only a week out from my RNY. We raise laying hens, and eggs are a staple. Normally I would eat one whole egg with three egg whites for my Breakfast, poached or scrambled.

It will be interesting to see how I react to them once I get to pureed solids in December. Thus far I've fixed them for my son and husband and have no issues with sight nor smell.
