Egglife wraps



Recommended Posts

Has anyone tried these? They look promising calorie wise but I’m curious if they are any good and how long they keep since I have only found them in bulk size near me.

They are good. I used them when I was cleared for eggs. I wrapped cheese in them at the time. Like eggwhites, you have to season them well or they will be bland. I have been meaning to try the flavored ones. They last 7 days in the fridge, decent shelf life.

What sorts of things do you have in them now? Does it have to be something that tastes okay with eggs? ?

I have had them. They are a little bland to use as a wrap and the rubbery texture kind of gets to me. (I have weird texture issues)

But: PRO TIP: I use them in place of noodles to make lasagna and it is DELICIOUS! I highly suggest it!

No, they don't clash at all. I think you can put anything in them, and it will be fine. Because they are just eggwhites, they are on the bland side so you have to season them up with whatever goes with what you are putting inside. They were good grilled. They have southwestern, everything bagel and a few other flavors too that I have been meaning to try. I remember stuffing them with cooked veggies, different types of meats, even ground cooked meat, lettuce and cheese. If I were a Keto type of person (I am not), I would buy it regularly.

i am hoping for my target to start carrying the flavored one. So far they just have the plain. Our Sam’s club does have the everything bagel but I’m pretty sure I can’t eat anywhere close to 12 in a week. Plus I’m not really a huge fan of that seasoning (i can take it or leave it but it doesn’t add much flavor in my opinion). I am looking forward to the southwestern flavor becoming available though. That sounds good.

If you have an Aldi around you, they have them. Cheaper and usually a couple flavors.

You may be able to freeze them also, I haven't tried though.

Hummm. I do not but my best friend does. I have been saying we have to go there but warned her since I’ve never been it will be a half day ordeal of me shopping every aisle and reading labels. I don’t think it sounds very exciting to her cause she hasn’t brought it up. Lol. Maybe I just need to make the trip by myself one day.

I didn't like them, the taste isn't great and the texture is weird. I would skip it. There are a lot of recipes to make "egg Crepes" and wrap on Keto sites. Way better.

Totally agree with you. Although everyone's tastes are different, it may be worth trying to decide if it's tasty or not.

I found it to be a good bread replacement. I bought the Italian flavored ones to make a garlic bread. I added shredded cheese and garlic powder then cooked it in the air fryer. It had all of the flavor with out the bread. I also used the plain to make Turkey and cheese roll ups. I tried making pizza but the wrap didn’t hold its shape. I’ll try grilling it.

      Does anyone know, how long it takes for Medicare to approve surgery?

        I think it depends entirely on what guidelines you're being referred under. I had that kind of insurance through the state as a low-income person for 10 years and even though I was over 400 lb for 10 years they denied me. All based on the fact that I did not have diabetes. I switched insurances once I was offered a different kind of coverage from work and was approved within two months

      I got a little bag of samples when I saw the nutritionist last week. Turns out I much prefer the Celebrate 45 Tropical Twist vitamins to the Bariatric Fusion orange flavor, so I've placed an order for those and the sweet treat assortment of calcium soft chews, which were almost dangerously tasty. The Unjury chicken soup was better than the other brand I tried, but not enough to buy it. And their vanilla shake was vile. I just can't do artificial sweeteners, and probably not vanilla unless I add something to it to mask the flavor. The aftertaste was so strong and I had a vague impression of drinking baby formula. So far the only ones I've really liked have been the orange and peach flavored Syntrax Nectar Naturals, so I'm going to get two vegan fruit flavored options in case I have trouble with whey after.

      I'm new here and unsure how to reply/respond to people. Guess I'll figure it out, or maybe you can help me a lil. lol.  A lil direction would be nice.
      I'm still wrapping my head around having this surgery to lose weight. I have completed all requirements, in 2022, and now it's a waiting game.  I missed a call in Aug. to have the surgery. 1st call I have missed in years and it had to be THAT one!   I was so upset at myself and then fell back back that weekend to my ol' comfort food; ice cream.  I fall from time to time but then get backup on my Johnny Wayne Saddle and do better. 
      I have been waiting so long I forgot what the specific surgery is called. 🤔.  It's the one where my stomach will look like a banana.  I just want this done so I can be on my way to a healthier and more active person, and hopefully feel physically and mentally better and better sleep too. We'll see. 
      Wishing everyone a safe and successful surgery.

        Has anyone messaged you and helped?

        If you go to the top of the page and click on your user name there will be a drop down that will allow you to do things from there. The interface on this site is a little wonky and could use some improvement, basically, you'll kinda have to click around until you find what you want to edit/update.

        I tried adding stuff to my albums and it uploaded the same things twice and I can not delete the duplicated picture. If you add a ticker and later you want to update it, like you lost more weight or you're closer to a certain goal, you have to go through the whole ticker choosing process again. The site can be a little frustrating.

      Today was my 1 month followup, 5 weeks post surgery. My dietician gave me a gold star review for my post op diet, and I graduated to Stage 4 of my program. Stage 5 should be approved in November, and that is the forever way of eating.
      I had to go to a post op nutrition class as part of my appointment today. There was a young lady in there that had been eating WAY off diet, and she was not doing well... She had been eating fast food, but peeling the buns off, eating vegetables that were not well-cooked, and eating all kinds of foods that were not part of the detailed instruction that everyone in this program receives. We had SO many caveats from Day One to not try to jump ahead on the schedule for the foods that we eat. I was baffled that someone would decide to eat off program, especially so soon after surgery. She became tired of the liquids & soft foods, so she chose to eat ahead.
      The result of her skipping ahead was that she had experienced a lot of vomiting & foamies, a lot of pain, and was unable to drink any fluids. She started feeling flushed and faint in class and had to be sent to the hospital to get some IV fluids.
      The discipline that one needs for bariatric surgery cannot be overstated. We have to dig deep mentally and physically to get through surgery itself, learn new things, manage medications, and really lean into that crucial change of mindset and behavior. I hope that this young lady is able to get herself together to make the most of her surgery.

        Great post. Thank you for the insight/update. So happy to hear you are doing so well. Keep up the good work.

        I am still waiting for my surgery...though classes were completed 9/2022. I don't like the waiting game. But I will say that my 'surgery buddy' mentioned this site and am happy I'm hear and hope to gain support and insight for my surgery.
