Exasperated With Eggs

Is it just me out here? I was not a huge fan of eggs before my procedure. Now that I am almost three months in post op, the sight, taste, and smell nauseates me to no end! I put salsa on them and cheese; however, I cannot get them down! Any ideas for a different way to eat them? After all, it is the cheapest protein. [emoji505]

That stinks! A scrambled egg with cheese and salsa is my breakfast almost every other day. Have you tried something like a frittata? Or a crustless quiche? Maybe a small serving with some veggies and some low fat breakfast sausage.

Eggs hurt my stomach till about month six. Keep trying every now and then. Keep them moist.

I have had them in a veggie scramble with cheese and I couldn't stand it. I could smell the eggs and the taste was just... BLAH! Maybe I will try a mini frittata next month. I tried to have a shrimp deviled egg last night and yuck. I couldn't finish.

Are you scrambling them? I'm sorry that they disagree with you. I have a jumbo scrambled egg with 2 oz of chicken and a slice of American cheese every morning for my first meal. It's a great way to start the day.

If they aren't working now, they may in a month or two. It is amazing how things change in the months after surgery.

Good luck!

Today, I purchased a small can of Corned Beef Hash. I am going to try poaching an egg for that. After this, that will be my final egg attempt for the month.

I tried eggs about 1 month out once i could have soft foods and they were not for me. A few nights ago, figured I'd try again and still they came right back up [emoji53]I am 4 1/2 months out now. I absolutely love eggs, so I will keep trying.

I have this "modified" omelet I make that is TO DIE FOR. It's crispy and springy and does not taste like eggs. Try it!

1 tbsp of cottage cheese
1 tbsp of tapioca starch (gluten free)
1 egg white
1 whole egg
Salt to taste
Herb to taste (I like thyme or oregano)

Mix everything until smooth, cook in a nonstick pan until golden brown and flip it over. Top with cheese of your choice and shredded chicken, or whatever you want. Sometimes I fill it with just a little bit of mozzarella, cottage or ricotta cheese. It fluffs up and becomes huge! I fold in the middle like a taco when it's ready.

I'm looking fwd to eating this again when I'm back on softs!

This will be something that I try.

I have always been grossed out by eggs. But we have chickens, so I feel like I need to eat them. The corned beef hash trick is my favorite! Before surgery, I used to do a little grits, then a little egg, then hash. Yum!

I've also had luck with sausage. More sausage and a dry scrambled egg. Too much egg makes me gag, but if I get the ratio right, it's hard to tell.

Are you a hot sauce person? I love poached egg with Frank's RED hot sauce. Also I like hard boiled egg mixed with taziki sauce made with Greek yogurt

I will try sausage with it. Any particular brand or sausage blend?
