Best way to introduce eggs into the diet

[Letsgetgoing2018 448]

Hi all. Week 2. I am still on full liquids but my doctor said I could try egg whites. Anyone find that the whites are tolerated better?

eggs are one of the first things I started eating. I eat the whole egg not just the whites and no problem here. I now like the Just Crack an egg cups. They are a perfect size for Breakfast and they fill me up.

A friend who had gastric sleeve recommended finely pureed egg salad as my intro to eggs. I think I'm going to make a test batch tomorrow.

I did egg whites, cheese and hot sauce. But I have an Iron stomach, so YMMV

Yes, I boiled eggs then just ate the whites, eventually moved to the whole egg . this is still the only way I can really eat eggs 8 months later with no issues.

eggs are the only food my sleeve does not tolerate..

All you can do is to try them - maybe mash or chop them finely at first, or make them sloppy and liquidy at first. I had scrambled eggs in the hospital and normal boiled ones later the first week. Our general rule was to try new foods, whatever they may be, one at a time to test for tolerance - if it worked, great, if not then try it again in a week or two. Our tolerance for different things is so varied that it's hard to go by others' experiences.

Hi there. So I scrambled them and wound up throwing them up. Will try them again in a few weeks.

Just soft scramble worked for me, but like one bite....

I had no issues with eggs I scrambled mine very soft with a teaspoon of cheese. I ate half and now can eat whole. I’m 3 weeks two days post and tried an omelette with grilled chicken and spinach. I thought I chewed enough and didn’t I ended up throwing up everything

I'm 3.5 weeks post op and i find poached eggs work the best for me.

[Letsgetgoing2018 448]

Well I tried them scrambled with a little cheese and wound up throwing the whole thing up. Will try again in a few weeks.

Either soft boil or scramble and prepare it without oil (or cheese etc.) first.

After my sleeve surgery I am unable to eat eggs unless they are in something like scones or anything else that has eggs in them. I can not eat eggs scambled or boiled at all. They naussiate me.

Wow. Funny how that happens. I will try egg whites only to see if that makes a difference.
