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 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.

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
