Do Eggs ever get easier to eat?

[SECRETSLEEVE]

When I eat eggs, I feel like I have eaten thanksgiving dinner. For people further out from getting a sleeve, do eggs also give you a heavy feeling like you have eaten so much or do they get easier to eat as time goes on?

I think everyone must be very different, because a scrambled egg is the only thing I can eat comfortably. I do get very full from one egg, but then it's only been 6 days since my surgery. Cottage cheese on the other hand really hurts me. I don't think I'll be trying to eat that again anytime soon.

Really, I wonder if all cottage cheese is the same, because the cottage cheese I get is watery before I swallow it its basically like water so I don't see how people have problems with it. Yes one egg gives me a full feeling for hours, I have heard that from almost everyone, does that ever change or will one egg always feel that way.

According to the recommended dietary plan put together by my nutritionist eggs at 15 days out is too soon. I cannot have eggs until 4 weeks out (Stage 4).

I still can't comfortably eat regular eggs, they hurt :-(
I used to eat 2 a day pre-surg.
But, I can eat egg beaters, if they are scrambled with some cheese.
Even those only go down well just recently.

apparently, but I love them so much! Does anyone more then four weeks out find that eggs doesn't make you feel like you have eaten a feast?

I have to mix an egg with cottage cheese or it's like slime. I can eat half before I'm full!

Eggs have been my go-to food since the sleeve. Early on, though, I didn't chew enough once and ate too fast and had the feeling you're desribing, and I threw up. It will happen. You're learning a whole new way to eat.

Mr Dr ... Dr Feiz, mentioned an weird egg phenomenon... ,meaning most of his patients cant tolerate eggs any more... Im so hoping this isnt the case because they are good light and good protein But now I have read your post and others so we shall see... Did anyone else's Dr. tell them this???

Most things become easier to eat over time, including eggs. Have you read Dr. Alvarez's book about the sleeve, SS? You might find it helpful as it has lots of individual details about it.

There are different curd styles of cottage cheese, as well as whole, nonfat, lowfat. Many people who have the sleeve in the beginning can become lactose intolerant, but it's often temporary. Eggs seem to bother a lot of people. I never tried them after surgery the way that people here typically prepare them cuz I don't like them aside from egg salad or deviled eggs.

Eggs have always given me great restriction. I started out eating on 1/4 of one. Now at 9 month out I can heat 1 egg scrambled with a little cheese and it fills me up.

Wow, once again; I was thinking I'm proably the only person who can't eat eggs post-surgery! I can only eat egg salad, or deviled eggs, otherwise; the kind of stick in my stomach and I just get an overall "uncomfortable" feeling. I tried an egg on Saturday, and it still doesn't sit well. Think I'm going to stick w/the type of eggs that "sit well". Thanks for sharing!

I have problems with scrambled eggs but I don't with a poached one. Go figure??

[Mbenson5]

Boy, it must vary individually because I have been able to eat a scrambled egg since the pureed days. I started only being able to eat a few bites and this morning I ate the whole thing. Light easy protein for me. My husband prefers poached and we always keep them in the house.
