STupid question, about eggs



Recommended Posts

I am about to start the soft food stage (right before "regular food"). How long are you suppose to boil a soft boiled egg? Hard boiled?

I cannot wait to have eggs...

Any other suggestion for this stage? I have tuna and chicken salad ready to go, lol... cottage cheese....

Anything else?

TIA

Emmy, you're too cute! After the Water comes to a full boil, give the egg 3 minutes. You really can't overboil it. Be sure you chew it well. Refried Beans w/some melted grated cheese on top is good. Have you tried a search for soft foods or mushy foods? This stage is so good after getting off of liquids!

There's Marie always to the rescue. When I was first married, 36 years ago, I use to pack my dh lunch each day and he loved egg salad, we must a been married 5 years before I found out you make egg salad with boiled eggs, NOT scrambled eggs.< /p>

Egg salad (boiled eggs) has been my Protein filler, along with my pintos and cheese from Taco Bell, obviously, a cook I'm not. I take a soft taco supreme and dump the inside in with the Beans and cheese, soooo good. Since my band, this has been my favorite meal, especially after my fill.

Good Luck

Pat, after 5 years, why change a good thing? You might have been a Martha Stewart in the making and didn't even know it!

      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.
