Does anyone else get really sick from eating eggs. I am 6 months post surgery and I Cannot eat eggs. I instantly get that "stuck" thing going on no matter how small of bites I take or how well I chew, i have to throw up. Then I get extremely nauseated and vomit until I hurt. Scares me, I am so afraid of band slippage. Guess I will no longer even try an egg.

I've eaten scrambled eggs several times without a problem. However, a couple of weeks ago, I was at a restaurant and had a bacon and cheese omelet. What a mistake! What made it especially unpleasant was that it happened at a small, crowded restaurant with only 1 bathroom for everyone to use so when the bathroom was occupied, I ended up having to run outside to the parking lot and throw up in some bushes. I went home soon after but I still spent the next 2 hours PBing what couldn't have been more than 5-6 bites. Not fun... So my suggestion would be to evaluate the type of eggs you're eating. If it's something thick, stay away, but something like scrambled or maybe over easy might work better. Also, eggs get rubbery when reheated so try to avoid that too.

I hope I never have issues with eggs! They are a staple in my diet!

I don't eat scrambled eggs because I have heard they can get stuck. I eat fried or hard boilded eggs.< /p>

I've heard so many people say this about eggs and it puzzles me. You would think that a scrambled egg would go down fine. I haven't tried an egg since my 2nd fill because I am scared to. Can someone explain why this happens with eggs?:unsure:

I have had 5 fills and am starting to have restriction. I have eggs whites pretty often. Dont know if it's because their egg whites and not whole eggs but knock on wood no problems.

Often it's the consistency of the eggs that's the problem. Things to try are

1) do not overcook them, leave them slightly moist.

2) add some cottage cheese to eggs before scrambling, this helps to keep them moist. I tried this, didn't care for it much, but I know others who love it.

3) have some veggies in with the eggs. I often make a mushroom, spinach & bacon bits scramble. The combination of texture works for me.

4) don't have the eggs for Breakfast. Maybe it's a morning thing that you're too tight. They might work better at lunch or supper. Or at least have a cup or two of something warm (coffee, tea, Water?) then after you've been awake 30 minutes or more, try the eggs.

I haven't had issues with eggs yet at 22 months out, but I've always liked moist eggs. Anything DRY gives me fits. Good luck.

Hi there,

I am almost three years post surgery and I have very tight restriction. I love eggs but cannot eat scrambled eggs prepared normally (especially in a restaurant!). What I can eat is boiled eggs, devilled eggs, over-easy eggs. If I am really craving scrambled eggs, I have them only at home and drench them in salsa before even trying. Otherwise they just end up making me miserable from throwing up.

Good luck and don't give up on eggs- they are a wonderful source of protein!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
