Eggs

[JFlora117 3]

I was wondering if any of you eat eggs, yolk and all. My dietary list says egg whites but I've been reading of the health benefits of the yolk. I've never had a cholesterol problem, so I'm wondering if its ok to have the whole egg?

I have no problem with the whole egg. Never had to just eat egg whites, which is good since I like the yolk!

I eat whole hard boiled eggs and scramble my eggs whole as well. I don't seperate out the yolks and only eat whites. The yolk does add more fat and calories, but I eat eggs maybe once a week so it's not an issue for me.

Me too! And I wanted to try out egg salad.

Unless you have a cholesterol problem, no reason to not eat the yolk unless you're tightly regimenting your calories. The yolk has the highest concentration of calories in the egg, after all. Enjoy!

eggs are one of the foods that I can enjoy with no discomfort. I also use the egg to introduce new foods to test my tolerance. Ex. Eggs with mushrooms, eggs with spinach and cheese, eggs and salsa, etc. so yes, I enjoy the whole egg...yoke and all!

Egg yolks get a bad, unjustified rap. They contain lethicin. It help keep cholesterol from adhering to the walls of your arteries.

The only thing I did was to not cook them too long - to keep the moisture and to not beak down the protien in the white too much.

When you can look up baked scotch egg. Great recipe. Hard boiled egg surrounded by lean ground meat. Tons of Protein. I can only eat little more than a fourth. I like the regular recipe but for my daughter I add crushed pineapple and sweet soy sauce to the meat.

I'm eating my first egg right now...... I mashed up a hard boiled egg with 1 tablespoon of Dukes low fat mayo and a half teaspoon of Mt. Olive, no sugar added relish. I've eaten approx. half and I'm starting to feel full. I'm 4 weeks out today. I've lost 25 pounds since the 2 week pre-op liquid diet. I'm still having difficulty figuring how much is too much till I actually feel it in my chest. I'm eating slowly and taking tiny bites. I use a demitasse spoon, and drink using a sippy cup most of the time. I can't tolerate more then about a 1/2 Tablespoon of liquid at a time. I've never vomited, had occasional reflux, but mostly feel it in my chest when I've eaten too much. Hard to believe 2-3 oz could be too much, but it is depending on what I'm eating.

I can reliably do 2 oz and Roger can do 4 oz. it's so predictable it's funny. Enjoy the egg!

I'm so glad to see everyone seems to be doing so well! I just saw my dietician yesterday and she said eat the whole egg. Its a myth about the yolk, even if you have or had cholesterol problems now or in the past. As long as you only have one a day it doesn't just have to be the egg whites. It's a great Protein and has lots of Vitamins. Plus its the easiest thing to eat after the sleeve in my opinion. So eat on egg lovers! Lol

It does get predictable doesn't it?

I use a demitasse spoon too! We don't seem to use them too often in the house and now that caffeine is out of the picture for a while they may as well be used... Congrats on the 25lbs!
