I started food yesterday and feel worse. Eat a tiny amount and chew a lot. One egg gave me a stomachache this morning.

I have actually heard that eggs are one of the toughest to digest. Try something else.

I like to use liquid eggs and scramble 1 oz fairlife milk to 4 oz egg. It creates a really soft moist egg. Its 82 cals and 15g Protein.

That is what my NUT and bariatric nurse said. They said some people have to wait a while and others never handle eggs.

I'm 7.5 months out and still just can't do eggs. They make me nauseated. No idea why. The only other food that does that are nuts.

Strangely I can eat them (eggs and nuts) in things, just not by themselves.

Strangest thing about this experience to me, is how incredibly different is is for everyone. Must be tough being the surgeon when you really can't tell anyone how it will go for them with any level of confidence, even if you've performed thousands of surgeries.

      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.
