I bet you would make a super friend, one that I would like to have. I really liked your post.

When I tried OA, everyone sat around crying, and I was so emotional over the trauma in my life, that I coudn't stand to be there.

I truly believe that you will lose the weight, just as I will, though I understand the fear.

Are you allowed to eat eggs so soon?

I agree, you sound like a great friend to have and I can really relate with what you are saying and how you feel. What you wrote really spoke volumes to me. I haven't had the surgery yet, I have to wait until November but I am isolating myself now because I'm so embarrassed about how I look that I don't want to be seen. I keep apologizing to my husband for having to be seen with me. If it wasn't for the fact that I CANNOT isolate myself because I have to work and have 3 active kids, I probably would be sitting in my house alone.

I'm sure you are going to do great and lose all that weight!!

I don't know if I am allowed but I live by the motto it is better to ask forgiveness than permission and I couldn't stand any more protien powders so I went slow and seems to have worked for me the egg went down nice a smooth

Well I am glad you can't isolate it keeps you in your head and sometimes it isn't always a nice or sane place to be, don't apologize for having to be seen with you. I am sure your family loves you and you have admirable qualities that would make all who know you proud to be with you.

I am also on Post op day 5.

I agree that liquids may be a challenge, but we are not supposed to deviate from the liquid diet at this stage in the process.

An egg is more toward the pureed stage.

I know I am going to sound harsh , but the new sleeve is like an infant stomach that you have brought home from the hospital.Would you feed a 5 day old infant an egg with cheese and ketchup?

No of course not.

Liquids will not put undue pressure on that staple line.

This could result in a leak which will likely land you in the OR and then onto ICU.

Do not do this until your surgeon says it is ok.

DID THE EGGS MAKE YOU SICK DEAR?

DID THE EGGS MAKE YOU SICK DEAR?

No, they didn't, my mom is a nurse and I live with her so if she would've told me no, then I would not have partook. I went extremely slow in eating it, chewed it really well and wasn't able to finish it because I got full.

I did some research before I ate the egg, I have been to the icu not for this surgery but another and not a great place to visit, plus my mom is a nurse and I ran it by her. Thanks for the concern. I was just really afraid of not getting protein in because I couldn't stomach the protein shakes.
