Egg whites and egg yoke



Recommended Posts

Does anyone know why we can’t have egg yokes in pre-op diet? I am allowed egg whites but obviously not as good haha. All I can find on google is possibly they effect cholesterol.

I wasn't allowed eggs until my fifth week post op and I did not have the yolk restriction.

Maybe it's the fat content? Here is the first thing that popped up on Google:

The egg white contains about 4 grams of Protein, 55 mg of sodium and only 17 calories. The egg yolkscarry the cholesterol, the fat and saturated fat of the egg. One egg yolk has around 55 calories, 4.5 grams of total fat and 1.6 grams of saturated fat, 210 mg of cholesterol, 8 mg of sodium, and 2.7 grams of protein.

I guess I wonder if it’d be okay to cheat on my diet if I had plain scrambled eggs a couple of times a week?? I mean of course it’s not okay to cheat but if I did at least it’d be healthy?

One thing I used to do when I was doing the "Body for Life" plan was to make scrambled eggs using one whole egg and three egg whites. Obviously, it is too much food at one time, but maybe try this and portion it into four meals. Less of the yoke, but some so there is still flavor and a bit of yellow color.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
