STupid question, about eggs



Recommended Posts

I am about to start the soft food stage (right before "regular food"). How long are you suppose to boil a soft boiled egg? Hard boiled?

I cannot wait to have eggs...

Any other suggestion for this stage? I have tuna and chicken salad ready to go, lol... cottage cheese....

Anything else?

TIA

Emmy, you're too cute! After the Water comes to a full boil, give the egg 3 minutes. You really can't overboil it. Be sure you chew it well. Refried Beans w/some melted grated cheese on top is good. Have you tried a search for soft foods or mushy foods? This stage is so good after getting off of liquids!

There's Marie always to the rescue. When I was first married, 36 years ago, I use to pack my dh lunch each day and he loved egg salad, we must a been married 5 years before I found out you make egg salad with boiled eggs, NOT scrambled eggs.< /p>

Egg salad (boiled eggs) has been my Protein filler, along with my pintos and cheese from Taco Bell, obviously, a cook I'm not. I take a soft taco supreme and dump the inside in with the Beans and cheese, soooo good. Since my band, this has been my favorite meal, especially after my fill.

Good Luck

Pat, after 5 years, why change a good thing? You might have been a Martha Stewart in the making and didn't even know it!

Thank you all! Wed is my week 3 switch over to soft food, I cannot wait. I am going to savour each morsel.

Not sure about the PB and Ricotta, lol.... I am Italian and can't imagine doing that to Ricotta, lolol.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
