My first bad episode!



Recommended Posts

I was doing sooo good. I almost 2 weeks post op and decided to try some eggs even though I'm not supposed to. I scrambled it up with cheese but I'm not sure if I ate too fast, too much, or eggs just didn't sit well but about half way through I felt discomfort like it got stuck had huge amounts of gas and finally threw it up. It wasn't a pretty 20 minutes. Lesson learned for the next time and back to liquids for now.

Yikes!

Scrambled eggs will be my first "real" food, and they are on deck for October 27 which is the beginning of Week 4. (October 20 brings cottage cheese and well cooked zucchini and green Beans -- but they are not in the same league with eggs in my opinion).

My mind wondered how I might do with them at 12 days post-op, so you have certainly answered that question for me.

I hope you're feeling better.

Stomach takes 6 months to heal.

I first tried scrambled egg with cheese sauce in week 5-6, after purees.

It got "stuck", and next thing was I had to run to the bathroom.

Haven't tried it since, but soft boiled egg or poached egg was OK.

Scrambled eggs can be notorious for bad issues with new sleeves, many people don't tolerate them early on.

Yeah I think I'll give it a bit and probably try a fried egg instead. I was so looking forward to it too, it was gross.

Fried eggs' and boiled eggs" are much tougher than scrambled really soft eggs" FOR ME. The hard protein' of the white still makes me feel bad at 3.5 years out. I can eat MAYBE half of a hard egg" white, but more than that is doom. Doom not being dramatic. (I can eat the yolks only of deviled eggs" easily.)

No, you should NOT move on through your stages earlier than advised no matter how tempted you are. Good for you for learning (and recognizing) that lesson right away.

When you are ready for eggs", it's a great idea to make them barely cooked -- runny and shiny, with an extra splash of milk. Add some butter and cheese" and they slide down MUCH easier. It took me up until about 9 months to be able to finish even one. Now I can finish one with cheese' and be full. When I make a few (for the husband and kid), one bite too many makes me yack. I now make mine separately to make sure I don't eat more than one.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
