samantha-elizabeth 0 Posted March 19, 2014 Hi everyone! I'm new here, 12 days post-op. Was wondering if someone could answer a quick question for me. My dietician has said I can start on my purée phase on Saturday including having mushy scrambled eggs. My favourite scrambled eggs include fresh chives. My question is - is there a chance the chives could get caught in my staples? I would hate to do anything to make myself sick and I forgot to ask the dietician. Can anyone offer any advice? Thank you in advance :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BigGirlPanties 957 Posted March 19, 2014 chives should not be a problem...but you can always check with your dietician to be 100% sure... they encourage spices and herbs...so with that said, my thought would be it's ok...(they wouldn't get caught in your staples...but may upset your tum tum) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
joatsaint 2,814 Posted March 19, 2014 During my soft mushy stage, as long as it was soft it was okay. I was warned against eating hard things like sunflower seeds, even ground up, because there might be a small hard bit that wasn't fully ground up and might get stuck in my staple line. Just make sure the chives are fresh, not dried and I think you would be okay with them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
samantha-elizabeth 0 Posted March 22, 2014 Thanks very much for both of your input. I had them today and they were deluxe! Only problem was when I put cream instead of milk in my coffee - instant tummy ache :-( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
