I was doing sooo good. I almost 2 weeks post op and decided to try some eggs even though I'm not supposed to. I scrambled it up with cheese but I'm not sure if I ate too fast, too much, or eggs just didn't sit well but about half way through I felt discomfort like it got stuck had huge amounts of gas and finally threw it up. It wasn't a pretty 20 minutes. Lesson learned for the next time and back to liquids for now.

Yikes!

Scrambled eggs will be my first "real" food, and they are on deck for October 27 which is the beginning of Week 4. (October 20 brings cottage cheese and well cooked zucchini and green Beans -- but they are not in the same league with eggs in my opinion).

My mind wondered how I might do with them at 12 days post-op, so you have certainly answered that question for me.

I hope you're feeling better.

Stomach takes 6 months to heal.

I first tried scrambled egg with cheese sauce in week 5-6, after purees.

It got "stuck", and next thing was I had to run to the bathroom.

Haven't tried it since, but soft boiled egg or poached egg was OK.

Scrambled eggs can be notorious for bad issues with new sleeves, many people don't tolerate them early on.

Yeah I think I'll give it a bit and probably try a fried egg instead. I was so looking forward to it too, it was gross.

Fried eggs' and boiled eggs" are much tougher than scrambled really soft eggs" FOR ME. The hard protein' of the white still makes me feel bad at 3.5 years out. I can eat MAYBE half of a hard egg" white, but more than that is doom. Doom not being dramatic. (I can eat the yolks only of deviled eggs" easily.)

No, you should NOT move on through your stages earlier than advised no matter how tempted you are. Good for you for learning (and recognizing) that lesson right away.

When you are ready for eggs", it's a great idea to make them barely cooked -- runny and shiny, with an extra splash of milk. Add some butter and cheese" and they slide down MUCH easier. It took me up until about 9 months to be able to finish even one. Now I can finish one with cheese' and be full. When I make a few (for the husband and kid), one bite too many makes me yack. I now make mine separately to make sure I don't eat more than one.

Have you had cheese prior to this incident?? Maybe you should have tried eggs and cheese separately before cooking them together for the first time. It's too much of a shock at once.
