In mourning for hard boiled eggs
on 1/20/18 4:20 pm
I have been eating scrambled and poached eggs and omelettes since soon after starting puree and soft but hard boiled eggs are a screaming pile of pain going down. Has anyone found that this cleared up after a while or should I just give them up?

I was not a fast loser but who cares as long as you get there! I know the newbies check the trackers and the signatures so although I kind of lost track of how the rest of the weight came off, you should know that it was not fast and furious but it was slow and steady!

If they hurt, give them up for a few months. Try again after some time. :)

Give it time to eat them on their own, but you probably could eat them in finely chopped/ mashed egg salad with some light mayo (no celery for a while). Also, if you want a soft boiled warm egg, you could ma**** with butter. I wouldn't try to eat the whole egg right now. Your pouch is about the size of an egg, so don't fill it to the max. I started eating HB eggs at 2 months post-op.

I had to wait until I was 3 or 4 months post op before I could eat them whole again, but I did eat them on the puree stage...I just tossed one in the chopper with some Greek Yogurt and a tsp of miracle whip and a dash of paprika, salt and pepper for flavor, and I was fine with it as a pureed egg salad. I really enjoyed it.
