What size egg do you buy?

[300PoundsDown 101]

I scramble an egg and it is super tiny. Maybe 5 bites. Is this right?

Yep. And I bet you will not be able to eat it all!!

I ate my first egg at 4 weeks out and could not finish it all! I was blown away that one egg was too much for me!! LOL I buy large eggs.

Now, I am 8 1/2 weeks out and can eat a whole scrambled egg most days if I don't put cheese on it, if I do put cheese on it, I can eat about 3/4 of it. I can however eat 1 1/2 boiled eggs. WEIRD!

I buy Large or Xtra Large eggs. How big bites are you taking? One suggestion someone on here had I read before my surgery that I found really helpful was to use childrens size cutlery. I used baby spoons and toddler forks, along with smaller plates. It makes you take smaller bites, which has really helped. If I eat too quickly, I would get really uncomfortable, plus I eat less using the smaller utensils.

I buy large eggs. I rarely, I mean like 2-3 times a year attempt scrambled eggs because those boogers still do not work well with my sleeve. I have to slather them in cheese to get down 1 whole large egg. I also use a hand mixer on high speed for 2 solid minutes to mix the eggs until they are super frothy/foamy before I scramble them.

I'm with Kelly, hard-boiled eggs, egg salad, baked eggs all work amazingly well. Scrambled eggs still to this very day sit like a brick in my stomach.

I buy large eggs as well. I have a hard eating the whole egg as well especially when I add mushrooms to them.

I buy medium eggs, and just got to the point where I can eat a whole one. This gives you room to make a vege omelet or accompany it with cottage cheese.< /p>
