I'm still in the pureed stage but have an egg question. Every diet I've ever been on has taught to only eat egg whites- but I haven't been told that with this new lifestyle. Does anyone have insight?

You will find both opinions of this forum... Personally...I eat the yolk as well. i can only put so much in my body and if I am going to eat an egg..Well it is all going down to help with the Protein intake..

That is just how I feel about it. :)

I eat the whole egg -- it's funny but fried works better for me than scrambled. I would have thought scrambled egg would be a perfect food for me, but no. And I love a piece of omelet once in a while. Yummy, I think I just figured out lunch today, lol!

I couldn't do the scrambled either unless it was the eggbeaters...can eat poached medium well and have had an bite or two of my hubs omelet...egg salad worked well too...just don't know why I can't do the regular scrambled. they are good for your Protein needs though!!! hope we helped Christy929!!! have a wonderful day.

I eat eggbeaters most of the time . I also have issues with real scrambled eggs not sure why. I can eat fried or poached eggs easily. I also eat the whole egg.. I think the yellow is blamed for cholesterol but if you do not have high cholesterol the yellow would work. I believe the whole egg is a good source of protein.plus to me It taste better with the yellow. I love deviled eggs too.

This isn't a diet if your band is adjusted properly so no need to eat only egg whites. But, I still use egg beaters if I'm making a crustless quiche or an omelet and want to add ingredients such as cheese, sausage, bacon etc.

We just use common sense and try to keep each meal around 300 calories give or take.

Thank you all! Keeping the yellow as a source of Protein makes complete sense. I do not have choleterol problems so I'll stick to this. Have a great day!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
