Ugh. First time this has happened. I mashed up a hard boiled egg with a bit of light mayo, slowly took about 3 bites and felt like I had eaten a whole pizza! Stopped eating, of course, but it has been 1.5 hours and I still feel yucky. Does this mean I can't tolerate eggs? How long before this gross feeling goes away? (I'm 23 days post op, and still in the puree stage.)

I remember taking my first two or three bites of scrambled egg when I hit the soft food stage. Oh my goodness, I thought I was gonna pop. I'm going to say the reason you feel yucky with only three bites, like I did, was because you are only three weeks post op. Your stomach is still wondering what the heck you did to it. LOL I can now eat almost 2 scrambled eggs a year after surgery. In your first 6 months post op, you're going to have a lot of "firsts" introducing food back into your diet. But over time, it gets better and food becomes much more tolerable. At least it did for me.

Thanks, logicwand! I guess this is why my nut said to introduce one food at a time!! Hoping it does get easier as time goes on .

My surgery was in 2013. To this day, if I eat one bite too much I get that sick feeling. One must learn not to take that extra bite. You’ll figure it out.

Eggs are a little hard on your stomach at first, especially hard-boiled eggs. It might be a few weeks before you can have them.

This is EXACTLY what I was going to say. It took months before I could eat an entire hard boiled egg. Even now, I CAN but I generally stick with soft-boiled eggs.

Thanks for all the replies! I'm going to wait a few weeks, and then try either scrambled or soft boiled, if at all!!
