I wonder if any other sleevers have issues eating eggs. This is the third time I have tried eating eggs with the same result - pain!!! I love eggs so really hoped I would be able to eat them since its a major protein source. When I start to eat them it gives an immediate fullness in my throat and feels like its stuck in my chest and then the pain starts. I have no idea why since they are soft cooked. I wondered if anyone else experiences the same with eggs or if this is just me?

Oh I do... but only because they taste disgusting! The downfalls of being a Supertaster!

Do you get the same issue with eggs cooked in a different way?

Don't get too concerned yet, you're not quite 4 weeks out. You may just need a little more time. Maybe try just egg whites since they're a bit "slipperier" than the yolks.

I'm actually in the hospital right now waiting to be discharged and we had a diet meeting and the dietician said not to eat eggs for awhile because they will get stuck in your throat.

Really? Wow. Well my instruction leaflet said I could eat soft cooked eggs in the pureed stage which I am in. But yes, they REALLY feel as though they are stuck in your throat/upper chest but not only that, it causes pain. Thanks for sharing

cooked any way, tried soft boiled and tried soft scrambled. They feel immediately stuck in my throat/chest and when it hits my stomach it hurts

Soft scrambled goes down pretty easily - 3w out from VSG

Oh my gosh yes for WEEKS I kept trying eggs various ways because it was soft and I freaking like eggs! I stopped having as many issues around week 8 but I’m 7 months post op now and still occasionally will make eggs and have to toss them due to over sensitive taste buds or texture bothering me

Yes! The first time I tried one (soft scrambled) it gave me so much pain I couldn't eat anything else the rest of the day. It's gotten better since then but they can still cause pain.

I waited until 4 weeks out and then ate scrambled eggs. If they are stuck in your throat, you may be taking too big of a bite or eating too fast. In the beginning, I kept my bites as small as an aspirin and took 30 minutes to totally chew each bite into a liquid stage and then set my fork down before the next bite. Now 2 1/2 months out I have no issues. Best of luck to you.

30 minutes per bite! Wow, you're an overachiever!

Eggs were ok for me at 8 weeks, although I can still feel quite nauseated when I eat them. Fish is the easiest protein for me to keep down. Poultry is still a no go and I haven't even tried any red meat.

I didnt have issues with eggs, but I was also extremely conservative. I made soft runny scrambled eggs, with a decent amount of ketchup. And I would eat EXTREMELY small bites, approximately 2 minutes between bites. Taking me close to 40 minutes to eat around half an egg.

I did this probably 3-4 times then realized it was too damn tedious eating eggs, so I stopped for a while.

At around 6-8 weeks postop I was eating 3 fried eggs no problem.

Yes! When I went to puréed food that was the first thing I wanted. Scrambled eggs. I too felt like they got stuck. I am 2 months out and still have issues with eggs. I can eat them over easy cooked in a little extra virgin olive oil only every once in a while. Hoping it gets better.

Oh gosh eggs hurt me for months after surgery!!! It took about six month and then I could eat them. Keep trying every couple of weeks. Most likely eventually you will do fine!
