EGGS omg what happened?



Recommended Posts

I'm 4 months post op. I can no longer eat eggs. OMG wth?

Pre op, I lived on eggs-one of my favorite things to eat. For me pre op diet, I ate them 2-3x a day; every way including just egg whites.

So now. As soon as a bit hits my stomach, I'm in pain. Then they give me gas.

Bye bye eggs. I miss you :(

Anyone else experience this?

Yeppers! I can't even smell eggs anymore. Doesn't matter how they're cooked. They make me so sick every time.

LOL I'm just the opposite !! I was not a big fan of eggs before surgery now I love em' I'm glad because they are a good source of Protein and low in fat and calories. I cannot eat meat now...just a big turn off post surgery but I can do seafood. I think we all have some tradeoffs with this surgery !!!

That was the first thing to make me puke and I puked for a couple hours. I tried them again several months later and just on a salad then a while later scrambled again and it went ok. Give it some time and try again, it might be a food that is a no-no

My first post op meal was eggs and I puked so bad that I was afraid of them for months. I can eat them now tho.

Isn't it weird? I just am angry about it because I NEED the Protein from them.

I'm 43. I've had favorite foods my entire life. After surgery, I have not had one craving NOT ONE! I also have little to no appetite and could care less if I eat something for 'survival' vs 'taste'. My favorite foods don't matter to me one bit anymore.

I've never liked sea food. I am wondering if I should give it another try. I WISH I liked lobster - maybe I might now. LOL

I loved eggs pre-op but now ... I can't bring myself to touch them. It's so sad. I can only stomach them if they're masked in foods.

I get it Cherry. My Fav foods are not my Favorite anymore, not because I dont like it, because it's more of a "I don't get excited anymore." I guess the RNY forced me to have a "eat to live, not live to eat" mentality so I look at food in terms of nutrition now. For instance, when I see a piece of chicken, I'm like "Oh that's a big piece of Protein right there!" lol

I can't even finish a hard boiled medium egg. I get BAD stomach pains that eventually turns to a full/discomfort feeling that last forever. And then turns to gas. I have stayed away for a longtime. Never understood how I can eat 1/2 of something could eat more if I tried. And can't finish a medium egg??! Weird!

      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.
