big chris 0 Posted 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DerickM 1 Posted July 30, 2007 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.

Big Wave Dave 0 Posted July 30, 2007 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 Aloha BWD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Anyalee 0 Posted July 31, 2007 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?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lawanda jessica 0 Posted July 31, 2007 I luv wine and I know it has major calories. After surgery I have to just say no for awhile. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ambrosia 1 Posted August 1, 2007 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!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
azmensan 1 Posted August 1, 2007 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rjonesii 0 Posted August 2, 2007 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> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Desertbunnee 0 Posted August 2, 2007 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aubrie 6 Posted August 2, 2007 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
