My food menu from the clinic says weeks 2-3 post op (mushie stages) eggs = very soft-cooked, yolks runny...and week 4 eggs=scrambled.

I cook a killer scrambled egg - very soft and creamy, not hard or fluffy. I'm not sure what a soft cooked egg is.

I've noticed other people talking about eating eggs during the mushie stages...what is your take / experience ?

Wanting something more to fill me up other than mashed tatos and blitzed chicken.

Also wanting to start on oatmeal...not much of a cream of wheat fan. I have the low sugar instant oatmeal - not sure if that is okay. It's not on my list.

Thanks all -- hope everyone is doing well with their band.

Scrambled eggs and oatmeal are on my mushie stage list, which started 10 days post op. You may want to check with your nutritionist/surgeon, since everyone seems to have different instructions.

Scrambled eggs are on my mushie stage list too, which starts on the 3rd week post-op. Give your nutritionist a call, I bet they'd allow it.

I'd ask your doc or nutritionist. Per my nutritionist scrambled eggs are in diet stage 4 - soft food which I am not supposed to start until week 5 post op. I do stage 4 for 1 week and then in week 6 can start incorporating regular foods.

Seems like such huge differences in our eating plans from our doctors! My soft scrambled eggs are allowed 10 days post op...
