Experts and Band Veterans...I have a question. I was banded on Thursday (9/27) and I am on full liquids. However, some of the things I'm allowed, I wouldn't really consider a liquid. I'm allowed pudding, yogurt and baby food fruit and applesauce. I'm not allowed creamy or blended Soups until the mushies phase. Seems to me they are the same consistency but whatever. My question is this. Do you think it would be ok to have egg drop Soup in this phase? Or would the egg cause my stomach to start the digestion process that is undesirable so soon after surgery?

Thanks

eggs are evil.

Some can do eggs well and some can't. Many oldtimers can't, so do you think your healing phase is a good time to find out if you can do eggs or not? :eek:

the longer you can stay on liquids the longer your band will have to heal in place and adhere with scare tissue. this keep the band from slipping later. i never eat eggs. if your going to eat id try something low risk, but eggs are not good for most people , they just clog up . good luck and go slow.......

Yes yes!!! What Catz wrote!!!

You're right....healing time is not the time to "try it". :-)

Eggs do not work very well for me. Not really sure why, but they just do not want to go down. Donna

With all that said I bet you could have the soup and dont eat the eggs and be ok. Everytime I have egg drop soup it is mostly broth. So if you want that flavor of broth with out eatting the eggs then It would be the same as broth.

Strain it = liquid.

On the subject of eggs. Soo weird. I can do non-scrambled eggs just fine. Scrambled ones tend to take too long to pass. I've not PBed on them, but I've thought I might.

I should specify - real eggs. Unprocessed. The crap that cafeterias use that comes out of a milk carton tends to stick, but I can do it. Haven't PBed on it, but it doesn't taste anywhere near good enough to justify the 30 mins between bites.

I had scrambled eggs the other day and could not get them to go down.. even tried putting ketchup on them.. nada.

But if I fry them or something, you think they'll go down better? :eek:

I can do anything except the little pieces. Give it a try. I like over medium with some cheese sprinkled on top. Mmm.

Egg drop soup with no egg, is chicken broth with some fresh ginger, soy sauce and green onion. Skip the green onion too or use onion powder and you can get close. Also you can thicken it a bit with corn starch if you want it a little thicker.
