What does your surgeon's plan say you can have?  Did they give you a book or information pre-op?  Your stomach is still healing and you need to follow your surgeon's direction.  When you are ready to advance, the World according to Eggface website has a lot of suggestions for recipies.  The VGS forum has a "what are you eating today"  type of thread that can give you ideas also.

Surgeons give different post-op plans. You should follow the instructions of your own doctor, whatever other doctors may say. 

Highest 290, Banded - 248   Lowest 139 (too thin!). Comfort zone 155-165.

Happily banded since May 2006.  Regain of 28lbs 2013-14.  ALL GONE!

But some has returned! Up to 175, argh! Off we go again,

What does your surgeon's plan say you can have?  At 20 days post-op, I was allowed to eat pureed foods, but every plan is different, so it's impossible to give advice not knowing yours.

You may want to post this question on the VSG-surgery-specific forum - you may get more responses.  However, most people will refer you to your surgeon's plan.  If you are moving on to the mushy phase then eggs or tuna would be out unless you puree the heck out of them.  Things like cottage cheese, ricotta cheese, pureed soups would work.  

As for boiled eggs - it was a long time before I could handle a boiled egg as it was just too dense.  Tuna was hard too at first.  My tummy did NOT approve!  But it had no problem with scrambled eggs.

for me, from days 21 to 28 i was able to eat pureed foods.. (basically the consistency of baby food)  so i would eat yogurt, applesauce, soup, etc.  Though to get my protein needed I was still taking a protein suppliment
