Week 3 post-op... can I have scrambled eggs?



Recommended Posts

I have been handeling mushey foods just fine and I was wondering if I could have scrambled eggs. Is that allowed in the 2-4 weeks-post op diet?

Scrambled eggs is on my pureed food list for week 3 and 4. I would say yes but you might want to check with your doctor or dietician.

Sadly, my doc says no unless they've been through the blender after cooking. :) Not good. I tried it. Anything that requires chewing is not allowed in his book. Better for the soft foods weeks 5-6 on my doc's plan...

I'm 3 week post op today and eggs were on my mushy list for Day 8-22 post op. Every doctor is different, I'd check with your doctor.

My doctor's diet has 4 phases and eggs are in the 2nd phase which are mushy foods. He would prefer they are eggbeaters for obvious nutrition reasons, but eggs were allowed for me after 2 weeks of liquids. It is best to check with your doctor to find out what he/she wants you to do though.

Every doctor really is different... I don't know that I could've handled some of your guy's doctors. :) So strict. By week three I was having all food soft- real food too. The only thing I couldn't have was beef, seeds, and potato skins. I could have those after my first fill- which was about 5 weeks post op.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
