Tomorrow will be 2 weeks post op and I can start soft foods now. I have been dreaming about scrambled eggs! But now I'm scared.

I've been tolerating shakes fine- although I am so sick of them!

What's the first soft meal like? Should I expect to get sick?

Also do I scramble it in Pam spray?

Thanks!

Lucy

Today is 3 weeks, post op for me. I started soft foods today, and had 1 scrambled egg white in Extra Virgin Olive Oil Pam Spray (I ate half of it). I also had a little bit of Greek yogurt. I did not get sick, but I had a little reflux, after.

Eggs is one of the easiest things for me to eat.

Chew, chew, chew. More than you ever have before. Also, eating the eggs with a little mild salsa has helped me--both with getting eggs down, and adding some nice flavor

When I first started soft foods, I wasn't able to get even 2 oz of a ricotta bake down. Go at your own pace and don't force yourself to eat! You probably won't get sick, but you may feel some discomfort if you eat more than you can tolerate. The trick is to eat small bites slowly.

Look up how Gordon Ramsay makes his scrambled eggs. I've found that texture to be so much more pleasant than the rubbery chunks of eggs we tend to have here in the US
