I want some egg on toast!

[Jinjanut]

I am so hungry! Week 7 post op and still can only keep liquids down. Can't stop thinking about a poached egg on toast!

7 weeks post op - you should be able to have scrambled egg. not sure about the toast. 1 out of 2 should be ok, right?

How come you are still on liquids if you don't mind me asking??

Angel, it's a long time on liquids... I had a poached egg and ate the yolk first and really enjoyed it.

I'm 6 weeks post op and have tried 'Egg and Soldiers'... I can usually manage the yolk and dip in a soft finger of toast, can only manage two fingers of toast at the most, wholemeal toast and chew them well... I tried egg again and have now managed to eat the white. I've also dipped into a boiled egg and that was fine...

Scrambled egg is still feeling heavy for me... poached eggs are best for me.

Good luck Angel. Love and hugs xxx

Bev !!!! you are torturing her with your list of ‘egg’ feast goodies xxx

 

[Bev]

Haha... Kevin.. I never mentioned 'fried egg'... don't go for that!

Poached, boiled or lightly scrambled... haha...

Egg is protein!

Love and hugs, xxx

I had poached egg mashed from week 2!and toast 1 small slice with it.Chewed to death mind you.Everyone is different,

 

[Jinjanut]

I keep vomiting whenever I start on a new stage. So have been told back to liquids and the slowly on to purée foods. But I feel hungry all the time!

[Big an Bouncy]

Have you tried mash with loads of gravy or cheese sauce?You must be starving,is the weight falling off?Do you feel a tightness as you eat or do you think your head wont let you eat?

 

[Bev]

Jinja... I'd be talking to your team and dietician for extra guidance Angel, it's weakening and you may need some on the spot support... Maz is right about mashing veg or potato and trying to combine your food... I do that... protein comes first, but I'm eating little bits of a lot more things now...

Please keep in touch and let us know how you get along.

Love and hugs xxx

Hi all. I have spoken to my team and they keep telling me to stick to liquids until I see my surgeon. I have lost 4.5 stone in 7 weeks but I just look ill all the time. I am on holiday at the moment but not enjoying it all as I am constantly being sick. Is it going to be like this all the time? I am so hungry all the time it's hard to eat as slow as possible. Not sure what to do but regretting having the op at the moment. Just want to feel normal again. Xx

 

[Jinjanut]

At the moment anything I eat or drink is coming up immediately no matter how little or how slowly I eat

 

[Bev]

I would be speaking to your team about this for certain. Please let us know how it goes and good luck Angel... Love and hugs xxx

 

[wizzbang]

Hope you get this sorted with your team love. xxx

 

[Jinjanut]

Hi all! Spoke to the dietician and all she keeps saying is I am taking longer to heal. Not much help! Saw a doctor here who gave me something to stop the vomiting. Now I trying to drink as much water as possible and have one complan shake throughout the day. Seeing Mr El Hussani on the 8th so will talk to him directly. Had a bypass. Thanks all for your support as usual xxx

 

[Bev]

Keep us posted precious, really interested to know how you get on xxx

 

[wizzbang]

I wonder how she is doing.

Hi Lynn,

I am feeling so much better but only on water and complain at moment. It's so hot here I am worried I might get dehydrated. But will try seeing Dr el Hussani earlier. I would love to eat some food! Waving to you all from sunny Jodhpur - thank goodness I can still shop! Xx
