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.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
