First DS Egg

I am now 8 days post-op and still doing great! Of course, I get tired easily and take 2 or 3 naps a day. I started soft foods yesterday. About 2 hours ago, I cooked an egg prepped over easy in EVOO (I cooked 2 pre-op). I ate the egg very slowly to see if my stomach liked it. No response except for a little burp. 2 hours later, still no response. Does that mean that my stomach tolerated it? If so, then I plan on trying a soft-boiled egg tomorrow, a hard-boiled egg Saturday, and maybe a couple of scrambled eggs on Sunday. I understand that many post-ops have trouble tolerating eggs prepped in any way. I feel for them.

Hope you tolerate your first egg(s), no matter how it's prepped. Let us know in a separate thread how you tolerated them.

I am not sure about most pre-ops and eggs, I have heard pretty good things about them as far as egg salad in the early stages. I can tell you for me personally, I eat tons of eggs, they go down so easy for me. I make them just a little runny in the middle and I can eat two really quick and I have never had any type of tummy ache from it. Yesterday I had two eggs and 4 peices of bacon. Its alot of protein and to me so very easy to get down!

I don't know about pre-ops and eggs, either, but I can tell you that it depends on the individual. I did love eggs as a pre-op and am tolerating them as a post-op so far. Yesterday I had 2 scrambled eggs and tolerated them. This morning I had a couple of eggs prepped over easy and I got full at my last bite. Bacons and sausages are about 3 months out for me, as this kind of protein is dense for my new stomach.

Put butter or mayo on your hard-boiled egg to moisten it.

I had a hard time with scrambled eggs at first (still do, once in a while) but did really well with egg salad. Now I can eat omelets and fried, no problems.

Wonder why you would have a hard time with scrambled eggs? Think I will try omelet, my fave egg, in about a week or so.

Someone, somewhere, told me that you change the composition of an egg when scrambling it - maybe by adding air into it? I dunno. One thing that helped me was to add some cream cheese to my scrambled eggs. When you make an omelet, add some cheese to it, to increase the fat content - fat seems to make everything go down easier for us DS'ers!
