Eggs

[T.Whitaker 26]

At what stage did you try an egg? Did you scramble it? Or no? Did it sit well? I'm craving eggs but only in my puree stage still. Advice?

I tried a scrambled egg during the purée stage which was 3 weeks after surgery. It sat like a brick in my stomach. But It never made me nauseous. I found poached eggs went down much better at that stage. I now eat scrambled eggs at 3 months with no problems.

I'm one week out. But I've been in pureed stage since day 3.. weird

It seems like the advancement stages vary from doctor to doctor. So I was on full liquids for 3 weeks and puréed for 3 weeks. But I didn't have to do a Protein Shake diet in advance, thank goodness!! ????

My dietitian has said week 4 for me, not before. Everyone seems to be told a different thing and I guess it’s also to do with the person and what they can accept at that stage too. eggs.... mmmmmmm ( sorry on pre-op liquid diet lol)

I got the ok at 3 weeks and made poached eggs to start with. They are wetter and super delicious!

I was in my 3rd week when I started puréed food and tried scrambled eggs. I mixed my egg with ricotta cheese or with cottage cheese before cooking (which I still do). It keeps the eggs light and fluffy so they are easy to get down. Added bonus: extra protein!

I made scrambled eggs at 2 weeks post off when I was in the puree stage... no problems!

You can probably have scrambled egg beaters

I ate egg salad at 9 days post op. I chewed the heck out of it tho!

I was allowed poached and scarmbled eggs in puree stage, which started 4 weeks post op for me. They caused me no problems. I really liked melting some cheese and hot sauce into my scrambled egg.

I had to go out for a work lunch today [i technically start puree stage tomorrow] and I ordered a quiche. Had a few bites and it went down fine and tasted great. Tomorrow I plan on having a scrambled egg for Breakfast and I cant wait

I just started puree stage, tried a scrambled egg this morning. Oh the pain. No good for me. (2 weeks out.)

Tried scrambled eggs with a little cheese and hated them and I used to love them ????

I am 12 days out and my follow up doctors appointment is tomorrow where I get released to have soft foods. For dinner tonight we had breakfast. I scrambled an egg put a little bit of cheese, salsa and sour cream on it and it was delicious. I did have a little pain warning me I was full after 3 bites. My daughter tasted it after I push my plate away and loved it. Hope I don't get in trouble for that tomorrow.
