Question:
Will I still be able to eat all types of cooked eggs?
Any feedback will be appreciated. — Linda F. (posted on May 6, 1999)

From my experience I have not been able to eat any eggs since surgery. I
do eat egg beats and things like that but it seems that any kind of egg
since surgery makes me sick. Ihave been told it is the high fat content.
But I also think that the surgery affects different people differently. I
have friends who have had the same surgery with the same doc. and do not
have this fat intolerance the way that I do. But to me giving up eggs is
a small price to pay for the life I have been given back.

I am able to eat all types of eggs, omlettes, etc. I have had no problem at
all.

A recent survey I saw listed eggs as an important component of a post-op
diet, if the patient can easily handle them.

I love eggs and they are not a staple of my diet because they are good
protein sources. During the soft food stage, I would have a loosely
scrambled egg and it was a great change from all the protein and other
"shakes." Now I have one or two hard boiled eggs a day (not at
the same time). I also have quiche and egg drop soup. For some reason,
fried eggs no longer appeal to me (and what good are they without the toast
anyway, right?) After surgery, you'll be able to eat just about anything
you want. The trick is to want the healthy and nutritious stuff. There are
foods that make me dump: heavy fats/creamy things like ice cream. A small
amount of sugar doesn't affect me tho (a LOT of sugar will make me sick too
tho).
Good luck. I've lost almost 100 pounds in five months and feel like a brand
new person.

Yes, you should. I had a VBG, and I can eat any eggs! I have tried fried,
scrambled, over easy, and hard boiled, even on salad. And as for the
gastric bypass or RNY, you shouldn't have a problem that I know of, there's
no sugar in eggs!

I had part of my stomach removed and part of my small intestine bypassed.
Eggs were a staple for me after surgery, and they still are (at 10 weeks
post-op), since they are high in protein. If you can eat them now, I would
assume you could eat them after surgery. In fact, I'd recommend eating
them just for the protein. I can't eat alot of really spicy stuff, so
huervos rancheros are out of the question right now, but in a few months, I
should be able to handle them!

My husband has eaten eggs every which way. The only thing is that the
scrambled eggs have to be taken off the fire a bit sooner, and of course,
no milk. He LOVES eggs. I always did, but after surgery, I didn't eat
them for breakfast for 2 years! However, devilled eggs were suddenly the
tastiest things on earth!!!

I had RNY bypass and eating eggs cooked any style is not a problem for me.

I had VBG and I can eat any kind of eggs. All types of cooked eggs are very
tolerable and are actually one of the easier foods on the new tummy.

I am 8 months post op and have lost 117. I crave eggs in fact I eat about
4-6 per day. It is one of the only foods that I can eat and tastes good to
me. I scramble mine with soy sauce, milk, green onions, spam, cheese and
sometimes mushrooms. I know it sounds gross, but it actually tastes like
fried rice minus the rice. Awesome
