scrambled eggs...HELP

Hey everyone, I was advanced to stage 4 today (soft/pureed protein) and as soon as I got home I had 2 scrambled eggs with a slice of cheese on top for lunch. It took me about 35 minutes to eat. I ate just about all of it (left maybe 2-3 bites) and now I feel like it was too much...? I didn't eat past the full feeling. I stopped before I felt "full". I've read people getting full off one egg and I ate just about 2. My diet papers say to eat 2 eggs so I did... Can you all eat this much too or is it just me? please. Kelley

Kelley, I can eat one egg. If I try to eat anymore than that I get the old lump in my throat and feel miserable for hours. Not that my stomach aches or feels too full, its more the feeling I get in my throat. That happens to me too if I eat too fast or dont chew enough. Maybe they moved my pouch up into my throat, I might have to check into that Did you still feel alright after awhile? Usually if I eat too much it doesnt hit me until about 15-30 minutes later, TOO LATE!!!!! Janelle

I felt perfectly fine after I ate, had no problems at all.

Kelley, I'm a one egg girl here. More than that and I get that "dried hairball" feeling in my esophagus. Is your body saying "too much" or is your mind saying "too much"? Va

Hi Va, It was more my mind saying "too much". I stopped eating before I felt full because I was afraid I was eating too much... ugh, I hate this new learning stuff... Kelley

Dried hairballs...I thought I couldn't eat those 'til I'm off the "slop" stage(pureed/blenderized). Oh! Dried Hairball FEELING!! So THAT's what I feel every time I try to eat "slop". Thought it was the "pill lodged in your throat somewhere just between your boobs, need to flu**** the rest of the way down with more water" feeling...get it every time I eat anything other than "runny stuff", but I'm forcing myself to eat and get used to this foreign feeling. I even had A SCALLOP today! A WHOLE ENTIRE SCALLOP!!! It didn't feel TOO bad...but it looked lonely in the pan when I was sauteeing it, poor thang...

LAMO You are just too funny Kimmer. I've never met anyone that felt bad for a scallop being cooked alone! Now about that dried hairball Va is talking about, OUCH! I've had 2 of them and they were from my liquids! I think they are worse than hairballs though. I think I may have drunk my CIB to fast and boy was it ruff! Last night I was sitting in a chair just squeezing onto the arms of it and crying cause I was in SO MUCH PAIN. My chest was killing me and my back too. I kept hearing gurgling (sp) sounds and had to burp but it wouldn't come up. Worst pain I've ever felt in my life. I swear! I pray it NEVER happens again. And beleive me, I prayed about it last night. Ugh, it was just awful! I wouldn't wish that pain I had on my worst enemy. Ok, enough I'm babbling on....La la la la la, see ya laterz! Kelley

OOOUUUUCCCCHHHHH! - You have me laughing so hard it hurts!!! Gotta love your posts Kimmer!! mgm

Dried hairball! Great description! Joy

I can eat two also....no problem. Now my doctor said no "yolks" so I do the equivilent of 2 eggs with an egg substitute made of egg whites...add a little mozzarella FF cheese and it is still yummy. My pouch is definately over 2 ounces...I finally ate until I felt uncomfortable the other day and it was over 3 ounces....
