While all post op programs can vary...I am concerned that your choices are ambitious and even a bit risky at this point, post op only 4 weeks. Eggs-great if you can tolerate them. But even now for me, (2 3/4 years post op), they upset my stomach some days...other days, no problem. But in terms of "good for you" the egg is a good choice.

Rice and nuts are generally suggested much later. I (choose) not to eat rice, pasta, potatoes, and breads, on my nutritionist's suggestion. If that is too drastic, and you can make simple choices without overdoing, it MAY be ok for you...but likely not yet.

The stomach rebounds pretty well, pretty fast, in most cases, but nuts are very hard to digest even for some that have not have their stomachs altered.

Consider smaller amounts too....wait a bit, (half hour or longer), see if you are really hungry, (vs mental appetite), and then eat again, small amount, a couple hours later. You really have to think small at this point. Eating more often is fine, just keep it small, and stick to basics is my best advice.

My god! No wonder! Rice? The worst and not on my plan. Swells in the stomach! Rice is a definite NO! I wasn't allowed nuts for quite a while and my first time wasn't pleasant. They are now a regular snack. A "handful" of nuts? No wonder you got sick! Way too many! I'm talking 4-8 nuts! I couldn't eat a 2 egg omelette that early either and still can't eat that much omelette at 16 months. Overeating? Yes it sounds like it. Eggs made me sick at first but depending on how they were cooked I could handle them better. Foods can work for you one day and not the next. And then be fine again later. One food, one small bite, well chewed at a time. Stop immediately when your stomach starts to signal!

I echo what the other ladies have said. Eggs are still iffy for me I usually do ok with hardboiled, but get sick on scrambled. Im almost 2 years out and still dont eat rice. Portion-wise, one egg is plenty to start with. Eat slowly, chew things to a liquid, and stop well before you feel full. If you get hungry, you can always eat more later, but if you eat too much, it can hurt for hours!! You also have to be careful with nutsthey have a lot of calories and can cause gas (as you discovered the hard way). I added them to my diet when I wanted to stop losing weight.

Hang in there! You'll figure it out!

Ditto all the above.

i dont think i am allowed to have rice until at least month number 3, and that's very limited, and not suggested,,,it swells in your stomach. I dont think nuts were in my plan till month 3 either. what i noticed with eggs, is that omelet and scrambled are hard to get down, but if i do sunnyside up or soft boiled its easier. try one egg, with 2 oz cottage cheese...it might help! i have had those pains as well, and its horrible! good luck!
