Haha! I didn't know I was capable. "Worst Cooks in America" is working for me! I haven't been able to keep down a boiled, scrambled, or pickled egg so my last resort was a poached egg. I've been craving eggs and I know they're good for us weight loss patients and I was very disappointed that I couldn't eat the boiled, pickled or scrambled eggs... I'm so happy...:)

Good for you! I love to cook, and I taught myself to poach an egg years ago. I think I was planning on making eggs Benedict for Christmas breakfast. I've never made them since.

There was a discussion not long ago (I think on the VSG forum) about how most people scramble their eggs too hard. They cook them too fast with the heat too high. Keep the heat about med-low and stir frequently. This this takes longer but makes really nice, custardy eggs. They might work better for you than harder scrambled eggs (in case you get tired of poached).

Yes I had actually checked out YouTube and found out how to scramble eggs correctly because mine were turning out to dry. I was going to try this next but decided to try the poached first. Scrambled even the correct way was kind of scary after what happened the last time I had scrambled eggs. Lol. Heck even the poached were scary

Wow! Like where you swirl the water in the pan and drop it in?

I consider myself and GOOD cook and can't do that. I got this weird egg poacher inset that keeps the egg all together.

I bow down to you! Good job. And I am glad the poached eggs work for you!

Yes I saw the method on "worst Cooks of America" and thought.... Oh I can do that! It didn't come out as pretty as I'd like but practice makes perfect...

I wish I could eat eggs :( I haven't even had surgery yet and can't stomach them. I must be allergic.

If they cause you a histaminic reaction like itching, hives, flushed skin, swelling of your lips or (heaven forbid) your throat, you may be allergic. If you just can't stomach them, get nauseated, throw up, etc... it could be more about your gut chemistry. The good or bad news, depending on how it affects you, is that WLS can change up your gut flora and you might end up being fine with eggs post surgery. If you want to help your gut system learn to accommodate them (only if you're NOT getting an histamine reaction) you can start introducing small quantities of eggs into other foods. Sprinkling an 1/8 tsp of powdered eggs into a food you tolerate well, for instance, can help slowly introduce it to your gut system, and the flora that love eggs will digest it and reproduce more egg friendly gut flora.

I only ever have poached eggs when I'm with my mom and I "make" her make them for me :D But then I fry eggs for her, so it's all good.

If it weren't for eggs I would struggle even more to reach my daily protein. I eat two hard boiled nearly every morning. Unless I treat myself to subway egg whites on the way to work.

I know how to make poached and love them! However the way I only want them is on top of toast.And another piece to toast to dip in the yolk! So this is one of those things that I don't think I would enjoy at this point. But, sure sounds good!

A lot of people have trouble with eggs early on. I couldn't tolerate them until about six months or so, and I know lots of other folks in a similar spot.
