I'm six weeks out and tried to eat an omelette this morning and now I'm laying on the couch asking God to take this pain away. Help!!!!

I know the feeling. Have to get up and walk it off. When I eat too fast or something too dense I get a pain in my sternum and then I start to spit out mucous. The only thing that helps me is to walk around and let time take care of it.

I eat scrambled egg (as in, one egg) all the time. It never looks like enough but then it ends up being just right. I'm guessing your eyes are bigger than your (recently shrunken) stomach.

I have to remind myself often to treat my body gently. You're not alone in making a mistake now and again.

I hope you feel better soon! You'll be okay! Maybe take it easy the rest of the day.

That's exactly what happened to me! I had to walk and as I walked, I spat mucus and I felt this sharp pain in the middle of my back as well as my chest. I'm going to lay off eggs for awhile. I only ate eggs because I ran out of protein powder

What was in the omelette?

I do alright with two soft scrambled eggs but about a week ago I tried an egg with some diced ham in it and that did not sit well at all. Make sure you chew the eggs really well even if they are a soft food. Big pieces can cause pain, as can eating too fast.

I have always been a fast eater and I really have to remind myself the whole time I am eating to take my time and chew each bite.

I had spinach, cheese, tomatoes and mushrooms and peppers in it. I think I took big bites and ate it too fast. I got down less than half and the pain just became excruciating. I'll try eggs again in a couple weeks or maybe a couple months. That pain sucked!

I'm 16 months post-op and I can only eat one jumbo egg. Two large eggs is too much, but one large egg isn't quite enough.

Welcome to WLS. They call the spit that we do as the FOAMIES. I am 4 and 1/2 years out and I just now can do 1/2 an egg in a salad. I always lie on my left side and eat PAPAYA ENZYMES 100% natual and cheap too. They have saved me more than once. Good Luck

Ouch! I've caught myself eating too fast and felt some pain after a bite too much. I agree with other poster about walking. That's what I had to do too. Hang in there and feel better soon.

Sorry to hear what you are going through. I’m just 3 days post op but I did ask the dr about egg white when I get to that phase. I’ve been one to eat the yolks and he said it would be fine since it’s only the whites.. it’s the yolks that causes problems..

hope you are feeling better!

I had my surgery Tuesday and I finally ate a lil today maybe 3 oz of egg drop soup and I felt ok didn’t get to much of my protein drink down but drank a really good amount of water... Ive been on popsicles since Wednesday

I haven't had any problems with anything else. I have eaten chicken. Chili beans with ground beef. I haven't tried much veggies yet just steamed broccoli and spinach in my protein shake. I usually have a protein shake and maybe two to three chicken wings. I did have cod last week and eating it kinda fast made me feel uneasy. I tried eggs for the first time today and wow..just wow..I'm pretty scared of eggs now lol.

U don’t understand how much hope u gave me when u said chicken wings

Grilled Chicken wings. I haven't tried anything fried yet. Hope I'm still giving you hope

Baked is amazing

How many ounces was everything ?
It's best to try things like that on it's own see how you get on then add other items. To see how your stomach reacts. I'm 7 months post and can't eat a whole egg with all of what you mentioned. Though I'm also a short female. So you as a man would have more space
