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.

      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.

      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!
