I am 10 weeks Post -Op and still can't eat eggs, cottage cheese bread of any type and barley can eat any meat and if I do get to eat meat I only can eat a couple of bites of a grilled chicken strip only no red meat or pork and then I'm full . I can eat yogurt and a half of a protein shake .I was wondering if anyone else has or had this problem of having a hard time eating at 12 weeks out ? I'm already down 60 lbs which I'm happy about but I would like to get more of a food intake. TYI

You're still really early out! I couldn't do eggs for six months, red meat was even longer... and I STILL can't do much bread unless it's toast. I don't include it in my diet usually anyway, no need to. Rice is another thing I still can't do. Carrots are iffy unless they are cooked.

Eggs are hard. I can only eat them fried or poached which is fine because that is the only way I like them anyway. Scrambled eggs are a disaster.

I could not have most red meats until month 6. I could only have ground beef.

Grilled Chicken breast is dry and very hard to digest. I don't ever eat it unless it is on a salad, other wise it is too dry and hard to digest.

I don't eat bread, I hate rice so I can't help you there.

A lot of the stuff you are trying to eat are things that are going to be hard to eat for the first 6 to 12 months.

Everyone is different. I eat eggs every day. Poached, hard boiled, they're my go to. And I'm not allowed carbs like bread and rice for 6 months. Red meats, I'm allowed after a month along with vegetables.

Try the poached eggs. They're not dry at all and it's easier to digest. Maybe try some chicken salad or tuna salad. Those I found to be the easiest right after surgery.
