Poached egg week 1 post opp?

[PissiChrissi 200]

I was sleeved on 4/20. I've had 0 complications, no nausea since being home, and have been on the cream Soup, pudding, etc diet since I got released on Friday. I am actually noticing that I am hungry. And craving eggs. If egg drop Soup is allowed, really how much different is a poached egg? You guys think I could do a poached egg?

I was craving eggs benedict at two weeks out.... I had my boyfriend make it for me but with smoked salmon instead of ham and only ate the egg, some salmon and the sauce... It was so good even though I could only eat about half of it!

I think it might be too soon to have egg.

My program has us on pureed as soon as you leave hopital.

Ive had lentils, soggy Cereal, thicker Soups etc.

But we were specifically advised NOT to have eggs till we were at least 2 weeks post op

They told me at the hospital (which I forgot because I was so drugged up lol. Good thing my bf remembered) that I could have egg drop Soup as soon as I got home. A soggy egg is a soggy egg, no? Lol

Its funny how different our programs are.

We didnt have to do the post op liquid diet... but we can't have eggs or dry meat etc.

Maybe you can make chicken and corn soup....

1 tin Creamed corn

1 litre chicken stock

Chinese 5 spice

... boil. .. then wisk 1 egg and swirl the stock and slowly add the egg whilst swirling.

Its satisfying and quite thin.

They told me creamed Soups with no chunks. But somehow egg drop Soup is ok? Maybe they meant for like cream of chicken to get those chunks out because they're tougher? Who knows. I'm less than thrilled with this extreme hunger feeling in my tummy and the head hunger that is accompanying it. I just snapped at my bf because I'm hangry!

Yeah... i understand how you feel.

Im suprised how many cravings i am having, i felt like toast this morning and im craving meat... i feel like i have to constantly graze.. but i fight it and stick to my allocated meals.

I thought i would have way more restriction, i wonder if this will stop once we move onto solids

You might need an acid reducer like Zantac or Prilosec. That's probably the "hunger" you're feeling.

[PissiChrissi 200]

Well u apologized to my bf and just said fuck it and made the poached eggs. A little cramping while I ate it and a little after. And not as fulfilling as I had hoped it would be.

I was so excited to never be hungry again as I hear many people say they experience. I'm hoping you're right and it goes away once we're on solids.

Well... usually our cravings seem far more yummy than what it actually is in reality....

I cant waiting for 2 weeks to be over... i need some real chewy food

Thats because its soft. I had my first eggdrop Soup today and OMG it was heaven. Im 6 day post op still on liquids till day 10 when i can start pureed. All docs are different. If u can manage to make it soggy... i wud try a bit and see how ur tummy reacts...

wow. programs really are different! we had 2 weeks of 12 oz of Protein shake divided into 3 meals. i had a "head" craving for a tuna melt...lol and a lot of emptiness/new form of hunger for a month until i could satiate with real food. i feel you really need to "respect the sleeve" and remember that your stomach was cut and sewn back up. it desperately needs time to heal! when you eat foods to early it ends up feeling very uncomfortable. in my support group people talk of foaming back up to their mouth when they did that (called the foamies) just hang in there it gets easier!!!!

Programs are quite different. Im supposed to do a week of clear liquid, then 2 weeks clear plus milk, pudding, yogurt. Then 2 to 4 weeks pureed only... so that puts me at like 2 months out

I am 8 1/2 months out and I was craving and hungry from day 2 and it has not changed. The good thing, and I am so grateful for, the sleeve stops the overeating. I also just do not give in to the cravings, or at least I did not for the first 6 months. I have indulged a few times in the cravings like bread and crackers, mostly carbs, but trying to be very careful I am down 92lbs. It is not easy, as the saying goes, they operated on your stomach not your head. I am so grateful for the restriction, good luck.

Wow that seems to extreme compared to mine.... we completely skipped the liquid part... straight to pureed.. which took me by supprise during the dietitians consultation.

I even confirmed it twice with the surgeon and hospital.... i guess thats what they do here in Australia now
