So today I'm currently 14 days post op and down 17 pounds which I'm very excited about! However, after being on the long liquid diet, I was so ready and excited to finally be able to have some scrambled eggs, and after maybe 3 forkfuls, it was just total nausea and reflux for the next hour. I have been taking my acid reducer so that's not the issue I am just starting to worry about how long it will be like this for because I'm feeling pretty miserable. Any advice?

I started solids today as well, surgery was 1/4. At my appointment with my NUT today, she said eggs used to be on the plan for this stage but they've found they make a lot of people sick. I've been nauseous all week, dehydrated, and thankfully one of the things I surprisingly can have is reduced fat ritz crackers, which have helped immensely, along with the 2 bags of fluids they gave me at the hospital through the iv.

Your new tummy is figuring out how to work again. I needed the full 8 weeks before I started feeling normal, before swallowing and eating wasn't painful, before I could tolerate stuff. It's very common to have this feeling of nausea when trying foods out on your new stomach. I read that a lot of people have a hard time with eggs at first. (I hate eggs so no eggies for me.)

I'm 3 and a half weeks post op. I tried eating a scrambled egg for my phase 3 on January 7th. Threw up all day! So I'm back to liquids! I did talk to the doctor and they let know that some people adjust quickly, others take more time! I'm really hoping to eat soon! I love Sushi!!

Has anyone tried poached or hard-boiled eggs instead of scrambled? I've heard that WLS patients handle them much better than scrambled eggs.

I just started this phase yesterday so I haven't tried them yet, but my NUT said its the yolk that gives people a hard time. So I could see those as a better, gentler option provided the yolk was not eaten.
