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?

I used puréed salsa! No sugar there!

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.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
