I had no issues with eggs I scrambled mine very soft with a teaspoon of cheese. I ate half and now can eat whole. I’m 3 weeks two days post and tried an omelette with grilled chicken and spinach. I thought I chewed enough and didn’t I ended up throwing up everything

Lovely.

I scrambled one soft at 3 weeks. Ate it. Was full for several hours. End of story. 😄

I had one soft scrambled this morning. Whipped it with some Fairlife milk until fluffy and barely scrambled it. Was a little rough about an hour later but not awful.

Sounds like we are all different. eggs was one of my early go to foods. Soft scrambled with a little milk mixed in to start. After a couple weeks I started adding some shredded cheese.

The blended/pureed egg salad with only seasoning to start off. Then added a little Pickle Juice for more flavor and then grew to adding relish and onions.

My first soft food this morning was egg salad. I made it with light mayo, mustard, paprika, onion powder, white pepper, black pepper and salt.

It was the best teaspoon and a half of egg salad I have ever had in my life.

I hate, loathe and abominate commercial egg salad, but your recipe I am willing to put my previous feelings aside and try it. Maybe the former ones were just poorly made, I do like scrambled eggs so I will give it a shot!👈😟👉

And a little FYI for you all. Remember I have lived forever, well a VERY LONG TIME and like many of my age group I think I have an answer for Everything. Way back when I was a Young FrustaMama with 3 little Frustababies the first egg portion th3 babies were started on was hard boiled egg yolk, reasoning was it had more good value and less allergenic than egg whites. Fast forward 30-40 years, Bariatric and other doctors are saying egg whites first, egg yolks nasty and contain cholesterol. Old saying: No matter how long the world lasts everything remains the same. Sure didn't happen HERE! Who'd a thunk it would be THAT way?👈😕👉

For me- after only drinking Protein Shakes and Water for two weeks- nearly anything would be appetizing. But yes- it is delicious!

Also- I really, really love seasoning things and am not a fan of bland food!

eggs if they are scrambled still make me nauseous. I can eat them fried or boiled. But if I eat them scrambled they tear me up. The only food that does that, too.

I'm 3.5 weeks post op and i find poached eggs work the best for me.

I did poached eggs at 4 weeks and had no problem, and moved on to scrambled eggs at 5 weeks and now at 13 weeks I about gag on any egg. So sad as eggs were a big part of my pre OP diet as I lived for 16 years on high Protein low carb diet as a diabetic. Good luck!

I went straight to scrambled eggs. No problem. I find two eggs are a good normal meal. Try one.

.

Be sure to add a bunch extra milk when mixing it up so the eggs are extra fluffy.

Loved eggs all my life but couldn’t do them after surgery, they were horrible in any form. 10 months later I can enjoy them again and do almost daily.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
