I am one of those people who cannot handle scrambled eggs, with or without good restriction. I finally have some decent restriction now (WHOO HOO!). I was just wondering how deviled eggs would be.

For those of you that can't handle scrambled eggs, can you eat deviled eggs okay? Do they go down better/worse/the same?

I would just make some and try it out but my family doesn't like them and I don't want to go through the trouble of making them if I can't eat them because they would go to waste.

Thanks!

At times I can eat scrambled eggs or fried and other times I can't. I can eat deviled eggs at times and other times I can't. I just try a little, if it goes down good then I eat it, but if it even tries to stick I stop.

I have trouble eating scrambled eggs also. No matter how much restriction I have, scrambled eggs just stay in my stomach pretty much half a day and makes me miserable. Deviled eggs on the other hand I have absolutely no problem with. I have never PB'd on them and they have never gotten stuck. The best way to tell is just to try them. There are days when I can eat certain things and other days I try to eat the same thing and cant. My band is very temperamental but I wouldn't trade it for the world!

Deviled eggs work great for me. I think it is the mustard and a dab of mayonaise (a little diced pickle and paprika are also added) that keeps them from getting stuck. I don't like yolks in plain boiled eggs because they don't travel through the pouch as well.

The best thing about them is that you can make only 1 or 2 eggs worth and it is no big deal. No one else in the family will eat them and I don't like them to be more than one day old. Other than boiling the eggs, prep time is less than five minutes so big batches are a waste for me.

Scrambled eggs disagree with me, but I have found that omelets are easy and wonderful. I usually put cheese inside and sometimes add a little green pepper and onion. They are high in Protein, fast to prepare and easy on the pouch. Definitely a win-win food in a pinch.

Thanks for all the responses. I did end up making some the other day and they went down fine. No problems at all. I'm glad because I was missing eating eggs.< /p>

I am not banded yet, so this is for my future use.

Hae you discussed with your doctors why scrambled eggs to do go down very easily? What about boiled eggs? :wub:

It woud seem that devilled eggs might be too greasy.

Deviled eggs are not greasy at all when I make them (but it is one of those things that everyone makes a little differently). Because no one eats them at my house other than me, I make them exactly as I want them.

I have 2 times as much mustard as compared to low-fat Mayonnaise. Mustard is perfectly healthy and is essentially a "free-food." A small dab of low-fat mayonnaise is not going to make a big difference. A whole pickle has 5 calories, so 1/10th of a pickle is not going to make a difference. Paprika is just for taste and color. Eggs are packed with Protein and are healthy in moderation as well. All-in-all it is a win-win food choice.

Scrambled eggs tend to stick together in a clump in your pouch due to the texture. If you have a funnel and drop scrambled eggs in, you will find that little actually passes through without a little push. The texture of a yolk in a boiled egg has a clumping thick nature as well. Have you ever eaten just an egg yolk before and noticed how it sticks in your teeth and is hard to swallow? It is the same thing in your pouch.

All-in-all I think deviled eggs are great for bandsters, even those with good restriction. :thumbup:

I don't know why scrambled eggs are so hard to go down for me. I guess it's just one of the foods that is not going to agree with my band.

I made deviled eggs and some egg salad the other day and both went down fine. I think everyone knows I love the Tostito's brand spinach dip. Well, I used it instead of mayo in my deviled eggs and egg salad and it was very good. It's less calories than mayo and is just as creamy, plus it adds more flavor.

My deviled eggs aren't greasy either. I don't think I've ever had greasy deviled eggs, lol.

Hello everyone,

I just wanted to share that on the days that I am going for a fill, I make sure and make some egg salad, have cottage cheese on hand. I also fix up some instant Garlic mashed potatoes. I eat these three things for a couple of days until I am ready to move onto solids.

The egg salad and Cottage cheese have the Protein I need for those days.

I always make sure I chew and chew and chew. eggs are soft and give you a false feeling that the are ready to be swallowed even if you only chewed on 'em a few times. If I don't pulverize them.. they get stuck big time.:biggrin:

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
