I got cocky

[jaksmommy 8]

I had 2 eggs with a sprinkle of low fat cheese for dinner last night. This was my first “real meal” a few days ago so I wasn’t concerned. Until. About 20 minutes later I started feeling sick, and had a heavy feeling in my chest. It lasted for 2 hours. I had an irrational fear that if I threw up I would choke, but I couldn’t hold it in any longer. Why the choking fear? I have no clue. Finally threw up some slime and then half the guys. I felt better after but still extremely full and still nauseous, just not as bad. I ate too fast, and took bigger bites than I should. I definitely learned my lesson. I am back to liquids today because I still feel a little sick. Just thinking of eggs now makes me want to vomit.

How long ago was your surgery? If you've just started on soft foods, two eggs was probably way too much.

I cannot eat two eggs at 10 months! One. I still slime if i eat too fast, or one too many bites. You have to slow down and learn to quit early. It takes practice, I know!!!! You will learn quickly or suffer more...lol We have all had that lesson.

eggs. I don't know why they introduce them soooo early when soooo many people have problems with them. I can't eat two at 9 months post op, I can usually only eat them boiled, yesterday I tried sunny side up (well done) still made me queasy. A couple of months ago I almost gave them up completely when I ate one and projectile vomited for no reason (I have one of the strongest gag reflexes I've ever seen, trust me almost nothing makes me vomit)

Two eggs seem like one too many. When I first began eating eggs, I barely ate half of one scrambled egg. I can eat a whole one now at 3 mo he out but nothing else with it

I totally agree with all of you. I was handling yogurt and broths so well that I just got stupid. One egg is the limit for me from now on. Well, when I can look at eggs again without feeling nauseous.

Low and slow. Low amount of food (one egg is plenty for me), low ambition on what you're going to start with, eat slowly, especially on something new. I've noticed that if I start burping, I'm done; that's gas in the stomach getting displaced up the pipe, and it's displaced because there's nowhere else for it to go for all of the food.

eggs are a good source of Protein. It took me about 6 months before I could eat more than 1 and I still have a problem eating 2 at a sitting and I am about 1 year out.

Off subject a little, did you know you can order scrambled eggs at McDonald's? It's about 2 eggs and they only charge about $2.00. I am not certain but for people like us it is probably the best choice we can make while away from home.

I’m five years out and still can’t eat two eggs. Pretty sure I will never be able to. I couldn’t eat eggs at all without pain for about six months.

One egg. Never two.
