I know I have read about people complaining of eggs not sitting well after VSG, but I had a few bites of a softly scrambled egg for Breakfast and hours later I'm having some pain. Could it still be from the egg? The pain is mild and comes and goes...

i also heard that many stomachs didn't tolerate eggs. On the other hand i make one very light scrambled egg at least 3 times a week. No problem with my sleeve. Phew, cause i love eggs.

i remember the first time i made my scrambled egg, i looked at it and it was so small, i said are you kidding me? but it was plenty for me. UmUmUm

Could it be gas from the egg. I loved eggs prior to surgery. I've tried to eat them several times and they taste awful. But i can eat them if they are mixed in a salad like tuna.< /p>

Well the pain went away and it must have been the eggs. I think I'll wait a while before I try them again. Thanks for the input, this forum is so awesome!

Same thing happened to me but I tried again each week and I can finally tolerate eggs. Happy cause its high Protein, low carb breakfast! Putting Cereal on the back burner as I'm about to eat normal not just soft foods.....too many carbs...looking forward to the crunch of salad!

Sorry to hear about the egg pain! I've heard the same thing regarding eggs! SO weird because so many docs list it as a good food to try during pureed/soft phases. Curious if the same thing happens to people when they eat egg salad or eggs in tuna salad? Good luck with eggs next time though :)

I too had trouble with eggs last week, made me so very sick.

But I tried them scrambled with a little bit of cheese this morning, and I was able to kerp it down with no problem!! It was only about 2 spoonfuls, but it went well with my 2 strips of turkey bacon!! What a great Mother'sDay breakfast

I wonder how much of this nausea is just a digestive system in shock. When I was 15 my appendix burst and in the weeks following the surgery even the thought of food, almost any kind of food, was sickening. I lived on broth, pretty much by choice. A few weeks out from the appendectomy I was able to eat normally but my appetite was substantially reduced for quite a while. I lost 40 pounds (keep in mind that I was still a growing boy) and became athletic for the first time in my life. All this without any surgery on my stomach itself. Of course two weeks of hospital food when I was in isolation probably didn't hurt either. :)

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
