Egg White Protein Shakes?



Recommended Posts

So I've been hearing/reading that this is the "new" Protein and supposed to be good for you. Any opinions?

3 tablespoons of liquid egg white has 5 grams of Protein. This equals one large egg. Egg whites are very good for you, it is the yoke that creates a cholesterol issue. I have eaten egg white omlettes (cheese and veggies added) and to me they are great. Down issue is only if you are allergic to eggs. I buy liquid egg whites in a container as I do liquid eggs, as I can increase my protein count by adding cheese. I don't think this is a "new" protein as eggs are recommended in all WLS as a source of protein if you can eat them. I can, but really have difficulty with hard boiled eggs, they are too dry and hard to swallow for me.

Might add, since your body can only utilize 30 grams of Protein at a time, my protein is 20 grams and by adding liquid whites to it I can increase the protein to get that 30 grams in, thus apx two more shakes I pretty much reach my goal for the day also my liquid intake. But without flavor of some sort don't think there would be much taste to just a egg white Protein Shake, just my thought.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
