I'm six weeks out and tried to eat an omelette this morning and now I'm laying on the couch asking God to take this pain away. Help!!!!

I know the feeling. Have to get up and walk it off. When I eat too fast or something too dense I get a pain in my sternum and then I start to spit out mucous. The only thing that helps me is to walk around and let time take care of it.

I eat scrambled egg (as in, one egg) all the time. It never looks like enough but then it ends up being just right. I'm guessing your eyes are bigger than your (recently shrunken) stomach.

I have to remind myself often to treat my body gently. You're not alone in making a mistake now and again.

I hope you feel better soon! You'll be okay! Maybe take it easy the rest of the day.

That's exactly what happened to me! I had to walk and as I walked, I spat mucus and I felt this sharp pain in the middle of my back as well as my chest. I'm going to lay off eggs for awhile. I only ate eggs because I ran out of Protein Powder :(

What was in the omelette?

I do alright with two soft scrambled eggs but about a week ago I tried an egg with some diced ham in it and that did not sit well at all. Make sure you chew the eggs really well even if they are a soft food. Big pieces can cause pain, as can eating too fast.

I have always been a fast eater and I really have to remind myself the whole time I am eating to take my time and chew each bite.

I had spinach, cheese, tomatoes and mushrooms and peppers in it. I think I took big bites and ate it too fast. I got down less than half and the pain just became excruciating. I'll try eggs again in a couple weeks or maybe a couple months. That pain sucked!

I'm 16 months post-op and I can only eat one jumbo egg. Two large eggs is too much, but one large egg isn't quite enough.

Welcome to WLS. They call the spit that we do as the FOAMIES. I am 4 and 1/2 years out and I just now can do 1/2 an egg in a salad. I always lie on my left side and eat PAPAYA ENZYMES 100% natual and cheap too. They have saved me more than once. Good Luck

Ouch! I've caught myself eating too fast and felt some pain after a bite too much. I agree with other poster about walking. That's what I had to do too. Hang in there and feel better soon.

Sorry to hear what you are going through. I’m just 3 days post op but I did ask the dr about egg white when I get to that phase. I’ve been one to eat the yolks and he said it would be fine since it’s only the whites.. it’s the yolks that causes problems..

hope you are feeling better!

I haven't had any problems with anything else. I have eaten chicken. Chili Beans with ground beef. I haven't tried much veggies yet just steamed broccoli and spinach in my Protein Shake. I usually have a Protein shake and maybe two to three chicken wings. I did have cod last week and eating it kinda fast made me feel uneasy. I tried eggs for the first time today and wow..just wow..I'm pretty scared of eggs now lol.

      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
