Exasperated With Eggs



Recommended Posts

Is it just me out here? I was not a huge fan of eggs before my procedure. Now that I am almost three months in post op, the sight, taste, and smell nauseates me to no end! I put salsa on them and cheese; however, I cannot get them down! Any ideas for a different way to eat them? After all, it is the cheapest Protein. [emoji505]

That stinks! A scrambled egg with cheese and salsa is my Breakfast almost every other day. Have you tried something like a frittata? Or a crustless quiche? Maybe a small serving with some veggies and some low fat breakfast sausage.

I have had them in a veggie scramble with cheese and I couldn't stand it. I could smell the eggs and the taste was just... BLAH! Maybe I will try a mini frittata next month. I tried to have a shrimp deviled egg last night and yuck. I couldn't finish.

Are you scrambling them? I'm sorry that they disagree with you. I have a jumbo scrambled egg with 2 oz of chicken and a slice of American cheese every morning for my first meal. It's a great way to start the day.

If they aren't working now, they may in a month or two. It is amazing how things change in the months after surgery.

Good luck!

Today, I purchased a small can of Corned Beef Hash. I am going to try poaching an egg for that. After this, that will be my final egg attempt for the month.

I tried eggs about 1 month out once i could have soft foods and they were not for me. A few nights ago, figured I'd try again and still they came right back up [emoji53]I am 4 1/2 months out now. I absolutely love eggs, so I will keep trying.

I have this "modified" omelet I make that is TO DIE FOR. It's crispy and springy and does not taste like eggs. Try it!

1 tbsp of cottage cheese
1 tbsp of tapioca starch (gluten free)
1 egg white
1 whole egg
Salt to taste
Herb to taste (I like thyme or oregano)

Mix everything until smooth, cook in a nonstick pan until golden brown and flip it over. Top with cheese of your choice and shredded chicken, or whatever you want. Sometimes I fill it with just a little bit of mozzarella, cottage or ricotta cheese. It fluffs up and becomes huge! I fold in the middle like a taco when it's ready.

I'm looking fwd to eating this again when I'm back on softs!

I have always been grossed out by eggs. But we have chickens, so I feel like I need to eat them. The corned beef hash trick is my favorite! Before surgery, I used to do a little grits, then a little egg, then hash. Yum!

I've also had luck with sausage. More sausage and a dry scrambled egg. Too much egg makes me gag, but if I get the ratio right, it's hard to tell.

Are you a hot sauce person? I love poached egg with Frank's RED hot sauce. Also I like hard boiled egg mixed with taziki sauce made with Greek yogurt

I will try sausage with it. Any particular brand or sausage blend?

      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.
