3 days post op and on purée diet. On my paper, it says scrambled eggs are considered purée. Has anyone used ketchup or even something else? I feel like a plain egg would be too dry. I know ketchup has sugar, but I figured the minimal amount we ingest wouldn't really be a lot. Thoughts?

You can try ketchup. I couldn't handle eggs until about 4 weeks post op so be careful! Try adding a little bit of Water before you cook them. Good luck!

You should be able to handle a little ketchup but remember ketchup does have carbs so if your doing the low carb approach you may not want to. Salsa is probably a better choice. I personally add a laughing cow cheese wedge to my eggs when im cooking them, this way it adds more Protein and a little extra flavor. Good Luck.

I ended up adding a little low fat shredded cheese instead. Ate only a few bites before getting that pressure in my chest which I guess means I'm full?

I used skim milk to make them looser and scrambled them REALLY soft set. Some people have success adding cheese, too. Me? Not so much. They came right back up. I can eat cheese alone and eggs alone, but not together.

What a fussy little sleeve you have there! But you're making so much progress so I am envious :D . I too eat eggs with a little weight watchers mexican style cheese blend and some pureed salsa. Yum!

The reason I recommend the laughing cow over the regular shredded cheeses is because it is a creamier,less dense consistency which is easier in the Early stages.

      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.
