Eggs of any kind make me super sick!

I had a hard time with eggs that were scrambled for the longest time. I am 2.5 years post op and I am fine with eggs cooked anyway but still some days scrambled for some very odd reason feel like brick in my pouch, so weird go figure.  I used to LOVE cottage cheese pre surgery, now I can't even smell it I want to be sick. Our taste buds change so much after surgery, again so weird!!

Meat has to be super crazy moist, small small pieces, like the size of your baby finger nail and chew, chew, chew.  It seems weird and odd and visually off but that's how I introduced meat into my post op life. I eat it daily now and have no problems.  

If foods don't agree with you today, put them on the back burner for now and come back to them later, it will work out.

Best of luck, keep up the great work!

Thank you!  Im looking forward to chicken. :)

I'm 6 weeks post-op.  I've been able to get eggs down maybe 10% of the time I try them.  I have to eat them SUPER slow.  Much slower than other food or I get seriously nauseous.  I can get down 1.5 large eggs.  Not two.

Meat hasn't been a problem for me, luckily.  I pureed it at first and that was OK.  When it's cooked, I have to chew it until it's a puree in my mouth or I will get very nauseous and have pain in my stomach.  

I find I've been eating more fish.  Haddock, herring, sardines.

I used to hate fish, but now it goes down easy. :)

The smell thing is common... that will ease up. 

Eggs are on our eating plans way to early IMHO... unless you under cook them (soft boiled, poached) they are hard to take at first but really have no fear you will have them again and enjoy them. Get brave once a month and I think you will find some ways eventually that will work for you.

I love egg bites when you can try them give them a shot... http://theworldaccordingtoeggface.blogspot.com/2009/10/party -time-confetti-bites.html 

Now all that being said... keep in communication with your bariatric team because you shouldn't have issues with all foods and if that is the case, you want to chat about strictures or ulcers, easy enough to treat but can make your life hell for awhile if you don't.

Thanks for the recipe!  I'll give them a shot...next month. ;)

I couldn't do eggs at first either. I am 4.5 months out, and now I can eat scramble eggs, BUT one is it......and I usually don't finish the one egg--my pouch is just too full. And for some reason, egg is better tolerated if scramble in a pan--as opposed the "eggtastic" egg maker we use....strange but true, maybe too dry or airy in the eggtastic-not sure.  I have not tried eggs any other way as scrambled just now are ok, but reading this thread makes me think I should try some different ways now.

Don't give up.  Eggs can give me grief - off and on.  I do best if the eggs are moist.  I like chopped boiled eggs in a salad with "wet" veggies like tomatoes, yellow peppers and low fat/low calorie dressing.  With scrambled eggs I use salsa to give them moisture.

Many foods have been on my "avoid" list and then they are OK again.

I find anything dry causes me to dry heave and get "foamies".  

Be encouraged - this is a long-term journey.  Foods that are kind in your pouch just keep changing.  As others have said - keep trying new ways of getting your protein in.  Protein first every meal and snack (if your bariatric eating plan includes snacks.)

Best wishes,

I am nine weeks out and the only thing that has made me sick is EGGS. I've tried three times, made different ways and they come back up within minutes and I feel sick the rest of the day. 

Keep trying different protein. It took me some time, but I felt so much better when I got more protein in. Try the unflavored in your yogurt, coffee, and anything else that works. I still can't eat chicken, so I eat a lot of seafood. You should try to use a slow cooker for your meats with lots of gravy.

Best of luck. It gets better.

I just ordered the unflavored. Thanks!
