Dumb question

[weigh-in 47]

I start on the exciting stage of scrambled egg and cheese, yogurt, etc. my question- how long should I take to eat the egg? Do I need to take 30-40 min to eat it, or cuz it's egg, I just eat as usual. And the cheese with the egg... melts... Isn't it hard to break it down while eating. Sorry if I sound ignorant but I want to finally eat...and not get sick. Thank you ????

take your time eating. when i first started on full solids, my first meal was a scrambled egg with cheese. I could only eat half the egg, and it was a very strange feeling to eat the solid food. My stomach made such noises!!! Eat it slowly, chew it well and wait a bit between bites. if you try to eat it "normal" you will probably get sick. The Cheese for most people isn't a problem at all. Good luck!

I agree with Magpie, eat the eggs slowly. Like 1/2 teaspoon per bite, and wait a minute between bites to see how your stomach reacts. My stomach did not like eggs at all the 1st time I tried them post-op, no matter how much I chewed them.

This is great advise... Thank you. Another question... It says we can eat any cheese. ANY? Like string cheese... And if we eat sliced cheese, I'm assuming same rule... Eat slowly and wait between bites??? I'm soooo nervous.

I'd avoid really hard cheeses for a bit, but pretty much any common cheese is fine. Yes, eat slow & measure your portions.

I make a scrambled egg with a scoop of cottage cheese instead of a splash of milk, it's very good.
