Stuck food
Jim,
I was not was not eating solids at where you are at now, but I have had an episode of stuck food when I got to solids 6 weeks out. It was turkey and it sucked. There was nothing I could do but ride it out. It lasted for about 6 hours. You may want to call your surgeon's help line if you have one. I finally was able to get it all out and all was good. I really feel for you man! Drinking made it much worse for me!

Jeff...
eggs are tricky...the only thing to do is watch out for the next time...
I remember going through Willowbrook Mall, and thye had chicken on a tooth pick...and I thought..well I can do this little bit of protein...well I was running my big mouth..and it got stuck///
need less to say , it ended with me on my knees in the mens rooms...go figure...
hope this made you smile...

I do not eat eggs and I am still on pureed food, however, I have gotten grits and oatmeal stuck. I had to ride it out, but I am going to get some of those enzyme papaya thingys and try them! Good luck my dear!

Jeff, you should probably talk to one of the nurses at your center. I saw another post from you the other day about shrimp getting stuck, and now a scrambled egg. Strictures are one of the most common side-effects of our surgery and you might just want to keep them alerted to what is happening, should they need to check that out. (Another thing, although gross to talk about, I saw you also mentioned you've had a cold. If you have been having a lot of drainage (especially thick), that could also be sitting around in your pouch and causing interference with your food...and causing things to not pass through as easily.)
