Will I ever enjoy eggs again?



Recommended Posts

I'm had bypass April 15th and eggs use to be my favorite go to Protein. I've tried eggs over the stove using different healthy butter alternatives, trying scrambled, fried, and boiled. Everytime I'm in the bathroom within minutes. Frozen Atkins egg meals are a lil easier but barely. I still get nauseated but I don't puke them up like fresh eggs. Anyone else have this issue?

I had bypass on Dec 7th (8 MONTHS AGO) I still dont do well with eggs and stay away. I dont end up in the bathroom from anything I eat. Meaning it effects me differently. For me I feel really uncomfortable stomach pain. Eggs still hurt so I stay away, maybe 1-2 bites like 1 a month, but it sucks. Since its such an easy Protein to eat. well not now for me, lol.

All Proteins i need to chew and take a few minutes in between bites if I dont want any pain.

Good luck!!

Early on I recall eggs being just too hard on my stomach and just stayed away from them. Eventually my stomach started giving me the message to go forth and egg and things worked out well. I'm mostly a scrambles egg / omelet sort of guy. It was a while before I could get past one egg but even now two is pushing it.

As times moves on food tolerances have moved into a more rational range than early post-op.

Good luck,

Tek

lots of people have trouble with eggs after WLS. For many, it's just temporary.

eggs are my go to. Every morning I have 1 scrambled egg and an applesauce cup. Been that way for at least 4 weeks. I don't know how else I would've survived!

I was one of these people! Tried eggs as my first "soft food", had a horrible experience...but I tried them again 3-4 months out and it was fine!

Ugh that sucks. Luckily eggs don't affect me at all, I actually have two scrambled eggs with shredded cheese every single morning since the first day home from surgery.

The only thing that tastes different to me is certain types of spicy stuff, some of my old favorites just taste yucky now.

Have you tried egg salad? After surgery when I was in the soft food phase my wife made me homemade egg salad pretty regularly and it was my favorite out of all the salads I was eating (tuna, chicken, turkey).

9 wks bypass. I haven't had an issue with eggs. I scrambled them or microwave scrambled. Microwaved with dry powdered milk it is like a souffle. I add onions or chives, little cheese, precooked turkey bacon or sausage. But I haven't had problems with any food I've tried. At 6 months I'll trial Pasta rice bread.

I had bypass and hiatal hernia surgery. It took me about 7 months before eggs were ok, I think it was due to dealing with healing. Everything is fine now, no problems.

Yesterday I had my first postop check-up with my doctor…so I am post op day 12 duodenal switch. I had never had nausea EVER since surgery, so my doctor said I could have scrambled egg. I was so excited. My husband made me a scrambled egg that night. I had nausea and threw up after never having nausea this entire time. So now, I am going to stay on liquid diet (phase 2) longer…😩

      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.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
