Eggs for breakfast and an occasional beer?

big chris · July 30, 2007

Hey evryone

I am getting my band Sept 1st (selfpay) by Dr. Kuri in Mexico

I was wondering if I will be able to have scrambled eggs for breakfast:hungry: because I love them:whoo: and when I eat them I dont get hungry till lunch now so after the band it should last longer. And I also want to know if you can still drink beer everyonce in a while?

Thanks

I can eat eggs with no problems. SOME people cannot, you will just have to wait and see if you can handle them.

As far as beer goes, I would not recommend it, I had some serious foaming issues. Ask your doctor

Beer is empty calories in any case, when I go out I just stick to an expensive hard liquor (Example: Double shot of Black Bushmills on the rocks) or a non-carbonated mixed drink.

Yes on the eggs, (try eggbeaters there not bad) and NO!!! on the beer.

Sorry dude, I can only imagine. I'm a Mormon so the no beer thing wan't a big deal for me...LOL

I read that you can have an occasional glass of wine....I bet you could have a light beer but only if you shake it up and let it get flat first. But who would want that??

I luv wine and I know it has major calories.

After surgery I have to just say no for awhile.

Chris,

I'm one of the ones that can no longer tolerate eggs after being banded. I love eggs and couldn't imagine scrambled eggs not going down, but they don't, and believe me, I have tried several times!

I haven't even attempted beer. I didn't drink it much before banding so it's not a great loss to me. But, man I miss my eggs!!

eggs for sure, i have them nearly every morning. beer for sure NOT - i had to stop entirely because i can't handle the hops -the fizzies

I could eat eggs immediately after liquid diet. You do not want to drink beer. The carbonate will strectch your pouch and create pain. I love beer and it hasn't been too hard to give it up. NO SODA's, Beer, or other carbonated drinks.< /p>

I ate scrambled eggs as soon as I went onto soft foods at 3 days post op. No problem at all getting and keeping them down. Not a real beer drinker but here it can really stretch the pouch, guess I'll stick to an occasional glass of wine.

Have you tried beating your eggs with a little Water or milk and then pouring them in the pan and cooking them slow. It's more like a custard than a typical scrambled egg. they are much softer and not as sticky.
