Im a bit concerned over so many people saying they can only fit 1 egg or less for Breakfast. Im 3months out and I eat 1 and 1/2 to 2 eggs with deli slice ham. Most days is 1egg and the other just the egg white but still..... Am i the only one that is eating this much??? Bit scared here.

I have two eggs a couple of times a week for breakfast. I don't have anything with them except maybe a grating of padano sometimes.

Relax :)

I wouldn't trip about that! I was able to eat 1 egg and cheese the very first day I was allowed! I'm now 4 months and can eat more. If that freaks others out? Oh well... it's a nice normal amount and that's what we are supposed to do! I've seen the people say "oh my! that's to much"

"I only eat a bite and I'm stuffed for days"

That's not me...

Now if you came here and said girl I can eat 1 whole layer cake then we would be talking problems!! But you are eating normal.

Yeah when I told my NUT I could eat 2 eggs she almost spased out! I try to stick to whites, but I can eat 2 eggs, but I would not eat anything else with that. I think I can eat more than most and it worries me!

I can eat 1 egg, 1 white and 2 morningstars. Did so this am. If you chew well and don't drink with it. it isn't hard.

Keep in mind, just because we can, doesn't mean we should. I was advised to under eat the sleeve, meaning, since we don't feel real hunger, stop before we get that full feeling that is sooooo miserable. Or maybe I'm the only one that can have the stuffed feeling sneak up and bite me!! :)

I can't eat a whole egg, but I hate eggs and have to force every bite down lol. After a couple days I quit torturing myself and ate yogurt instead...which is the less of two evils lol

Thank you very much, I think I can handle it. I've been doing this for a while now, and I can pretty much know when I am full.

For some reason since surgery I can't tolerate eggs at all. Comes right back up within 10 minutes. Strange because one day fine, next day not, so I just don't eat them & I'm 6 months out....oh well, maybe one day.

Shoot, you're welcome and you're doing better than me. If I'm eating out, I'll get to visiting and all of a sudden, I feel horrible....and I've been doing it for 3 years! Then there I am, in the passenger seat, laid back and salivating!!! I have not thrown up, but a couple of times, I was wishing! Maybe one of these days I'll know I need to pay more attention! At home I weigh and measure, it's easier for me.

      I joined BariatricPal in 2008 & I FINALLY made the descision to have WLS!! I'm so excited & not sure what I need to do to get the ball rolling, but I made an appointment with my PCP for 7/19. It's a start I guess.

      I joined yesterday when I was struggling with this preop diet... 
      It typically comes and goes, the hard times and easier times. I'm on day 6 of 14  shakes, water, sf Popsicles and jello. And I might actually be losing my mind. But, oh dear lord has the fear set in. Not about the surgery itself, but life afterwards. If I feel this crappy on the preop diet, am I going to feel like this forever after? 
      I know most of the answers are no, not forever. It might be worse after for a while, then get better. I know it's a more of a mental challenge than physical after the first couple weeks of healing. I get all of that. But I'm starting to feel scared about losing myself afterwards. 
      It might be my hormones or desire to chew something salty talking.. It may go away soon or tomorrow.. I can hope, anyway. But right now.. The fear is real. 
       
      And this liquid diet can bite me.

        Fear is normal, but if it makes you feel any better, I'm 4.5 months post-op and the pre-op diet was by far the hardest part of the whole process. There will be challenges and a lot of new things to learn, but I can honestly say at this point I feel so much more "back to normal" and was even able to go on a week-long vacation with my kids without stressing over it. It's so worthwhile.

        @NickelChip This actually does make me feel better! Thank you so much! After the onslaught of Covid, we've all had to deal with a "new normal", so I know it's possible. It's just the fear and frustration in this moment that makes me question if I can find another "new normal" afterwards. The thought of just a few more months seems daunting some times, but I really do appreciate input and real experience. I'll use that to get me through for a few more hours! LOL. Thank you so much! And I'm glad everything is going so well for you! ❤️

      I started my 10 day pre op diet yesterday I need flavor!! I'm not big on the chocolate protein shakes so I just got to use up what I have was thinking about freezing it to make it like a ice cream so its something I can chew a little. Idk this is hard but I know I can do it just need to find new things to try

        You can try. I've read other people have had good results with protein-shake popsicles, etc. My personal experience with it? Sucked.

        I tried making 'fudgesicles' with a couple different flavors of a premade shake, as well as a protein powder I blended myself and all of them came out revolting? The powder ones, all the protein sunk to the middle; the premade shakes, the popsicle had a disgusting texture and the protein seemed to leave a weird fluffy film on the outside? I couldn't stomach it.

        Maybe look into flavoring additives? I was able to have sugar-free coffee /soda syrup flavorings, sugar-free drink flavorings and baking additives like almond, rum or pepperment extract. The extracts helped me the most as they added no extra sweetener.

        On the other hand, if you can get your hands on an unflavored/unsweetened protein powder, the syrup flavorings are perfect. I love to use Boost "Just Protein" (which is unflavored) with milk and a Chai-flavored sugarfree syrup.

        Good luck!
