Question:
Am I the only one who cannot tolerate Eggs fixed anyway?

I have tried scrambled, fried with Pam Spray, deviled, egg salad, etc..and eggs make my throw-up...has this happened to anyone else post-op?    — april-michele D. (posted on February 3, 2003)

I USED TO MAKE BREAKFAST EVERY SUNDAY AND ABOUT 2MTHS AFTER MY SURGERY I TRIED EGGS AND THEY DID NOT AGREE WITH ME AND WERE JUST AWFUL, WELL OVER THE NEXT FEW MONTHS JUST LIKE YOU I TRIED EGGS IN DIFFERENT FORMS AND IT WOULD NOT WORK, I COULD NOT EVEN SWALLOW THEM, THE TASTE WAS TERRIBLE. WELL I RECENTLY TRIED JUST EGG WHITES SCRAMBLED WITH CHEESE AND IT WORKED. HOPE THIS HELPS!

Pre-op I hated eggs! Then post-op for a few months I started eating fried eggs or scrambled. But now I am back to hating them again, the smell and taste now makes me nauseas. You might be able to tolerate them later on, food tastes change off and on after this surgery, it's weird!

This may sound weird but have you tried egg beaters or some other egg substitute....i have found that i have trouble with "real" eggs but tolerate the egg beaters just find....i also can eat the whites of boiled eggs and have discovered away to make fat free deviled eggs out of egg beaters...email me if you want to know.

That sucks for you. Hard boiled eggs are my staple. One is more then enough for breakfast, lunch & dinner. I love eggs. I just learned how to poach them too. Course, it was about 3 months before I could eat them, but I was on a puree diet so they weren't allowed. But now, YUM. Maybe it'll work out better later down the road. Hope so.

for the first few months i could not tolerate them either. Then I could only tolerate "over easy" eggs for the longest time. I am a little over a year out now, and I aneat scrambled, as well as develed eggs, but that has only been since about thanksgiving. Try them agian in a few weeks.

WLS patients (particularly RNY) seem to discover that suddenly foods that they could eat pre-op either just don't taste the same, or are not tolerated at all....and experiences all seem to be a little different. When my daughter had her RNY, she couldn't tolerate any red meats and then became lactose intolerant at 3 weeks post-op. After my RNY, I found that I couldn't tolerate pork or eggs....sometimes I would vomit, and other times those foods just sat in my pouch for hours making me feel miserable....and yes, I was taking small bites and chewing thoroughly. However, I had no problems with other red meats or dairy. Post-op, my daughter's favorite food was eggs, fixed any way, and she had no problems with them at all. I'm now three years post-op, and only within the past six months have I been able to eat eggs comfortably. So, don't give up....leave them out of your diet for a few months and try again. Best wishes!

I couldn't eat eggs initially either. Eggs were the food that took the longest to be able to tolerate. Now at 18 mos post-op, they're fine. I recall vividly the day my husband fixed me scrambled eggs about 6 weeks post-op. I was sitting on our front porch on a lovely day... without getting too graphic, let's just say that my egg intolerance came upon me suddenly. It gets better. But it's frustrating ... they're an eggs-ellent source of protein so it's eggs-asperating.... Nancy

I too, could not eat eggs for a long time...I actually dumped on the little stinkers. I still can't eat deviled eggs, which are my favorite way of eating eggs. I can't stand scrambled, never could, though my mother tells me that I used to eat scrambled eggs every single day for a year when I was little (I must be blocking out THAT memory). I can eat fried/over easy/sunny side up, but that's it. I was about 9 months out before I could eat them. Good Luck and Have a Sparkling Day!! ~CAE~

I think it may be the texture. I couldn't eat eggs for about 1 yr. post-op. I still cannot tolerate tofu, and I'm nearly 2 years post-op.

Scrambled eggs were the worst - it took about a year and half after surgery before I could eat them - I still prefer them soft-scrambled, soft, not chopped and with cheese. Itis the only food that gives me trouble other than mac-n-cheese (and that is cause I am bad about chewing it up!)

I've tried scrambled eggs, omelets, over-easy eggs and even the Eggbeaters...no go for me yet either. They haven't made me throw up but rather queasy. However I did find during the holidays (much to my delight) that I can handle deviled eggs! Hardboiled I can only handle if they are chopped up and put on salad or made into egg salad. I guess my tummy wants some mayo with the egg! Keep trying off and on. - Anna LAP RNY 7/3/02 -110lbs.

Eggs are the ONLY thing I haven't been able to tolerate since surgery. They don't make me throw up...they sit in my stomach for hours and hours and make me wish I could throw them up. Doesn't matter how they're prepared....I even got sick on merange (sp). This summer, I had a monte cristo sandwich (french toast, ham, turkey and cheese) and within an hour, was sick as a dog. It took me awhile to figure out that the french toast was made with eggs. I LOVE hardboiled eggs - and I do miss egg salad/deviled eggs. But I get so sick, I'm afraid to try them again. The last time I tried to eat them was at 11 months post-op. I only wish I reacted to bread and/or sugar like that.

I hated eggs for about the first four months. And I am the person who used to have eggs everyday at the diner on my way to work. Then all of a sudden one day I liked eggs again and they didn't bother me anymore. Same thing with meat I hated it until I was about four or five months post op. At 8 months post op most of my tastes have now returned to normal and I can tolerate preety much anything. If you can't tolerate something now or don't like the taste keep trying it every couple of weeks.

Firstly, congratulations on your life changing surgery!! Oh my god, eggs just would'nt go down for about 3 months post op. Then, one day, I was craving them, so I decided to give them another try, but this time I used a little milk in the preparation. I also left them a little "undercooked". They were of a more creamy texture, and they were great. They went down with no problem. I actually now (5 months post op) can eat two eggs cooked this way. GREAT PROTEIN and YUMMY TOO!!
