My book says I'm allowed "Very finely chopped or spreadable solid foods." Examples given are cottage cheese, tuna salad, chicken salad, egg salad, refried beans, tofu and mushed soft veggies. I'm wondering if overeasy eggs that are mashed up (since that is the way I eat them anyway) would go in this category? I ask because "eggs" aren't named until the soft texture phase but I'm guessing that's concerning scrambled eggs and hard cooked eggs?

Honestly, if they don't mention eggs until the soft texture phase, I would assume they mean no eggs until the soft texture phase. But definitely call them and ask for clarification. You/your insurance company paid them a lot of money for their guidance, don't hesitate to make use of it!

I agree with @@Bufflehead do give them a call and ask for sure......but I'm thinking an egg over easy would fit in that category....but always best to ask. Actually, I had my NUT and Nurse coordinator's email addresses and it was always much easier for me to get an answer from them via email rather than catching them at their desks. If you have their email addresses use them.....My first two weeks I was in constant contact with my nurse coordinator....it was very reassuring!

My dietician allowed me soft boiled eggs and scrambled eggs in my puréed stage once I mashed it up with a fork - i tolerated it very well!

Well they DO mention eggs but only in egg salad lol. So it's a bit confusing. I guess I will text my surgeon and ask. My nutritionist was having a family emergency last time I texted her which was about a week ago and she never did get back to me so I'm currently looking for a new one.

I say eggs are eggs.....as long as they are as soft as what you would use for egg salad I think you're good to go.

That's what I figured as well. If they are the same only without the extra junk and just soft yolks then I would assume they are fine. I thought about it for a few minutes after my last post and decided I'd go ahead and make some and it went down better than most of the other stuff I've had to eat on this diet and no upset stomach like some of the other stuff too (tuna salad did not go so well). So I guess we'll know soon enough. So far, so good!

I've been eating eggs. They're very soft and easy. You shouldn't have any problems with them.
