Eggs oh love eggs!

Eggs are probably my favorite food ever! Deviled, salad, hard boiled in lettuce salad or solo = 70 calories and 6 grams of protein!
But I really love omelettes!! Current favorite is 2T black olives, 1oz feta, fresh spinach, and fresh tomato. Add the last 2 at the very end. And I’ve been using egg beaters … drastically drop the calories.
Look at your leftovers and dump them in with your eggs! You are now a chef!

I used to enjoy eggs but haven’t been able to have them much after bypass. They just sit in my stomach like a lead weight. My dietitian said that could happen but it should pass eventually. I can have egg salad or deviled eggs with not as many issues. I think it’s because of the added fat but not really sure.

What does your dietitian say about Egg Beaters?

 

[3momchaos]

Haven’t asked and haven’t tried them. I’d rather not have the extra expense when I already buy eggs for my family.

This is a great question. But you dont have to ask your professional much if you get a food list.

My nut gave me numbers. 50 to 70 grams of protein every day was the heart of it.

Read labels! You may have to go without until you find your dietary balance. Your goal is a normal balance. Its not a diet. Its reeducation.

Add double daily vitamins and 64 ounces of water every day. Eating right is Job One. Not only will you lose weight more quickly; you'll be talking to your organs.

Post-op eating can include almost everything. But it's ESSENTIAL to weigh and measure everything.

Egg Beaters are eggs. But my approach is to go natural as much as possible. I avoid adulterated foods.

I lost 75 pounds in 90 days, then stalled for months. Then I lost slowly as I was out hiking a lot, eating the crap you buy for the trail. Ultimately, I developed my own hiking food and over a few months, surpassed my goal. I actually had to gain 15 pounds to get to my healthy weigh.

You're in control. Learn about calories vs. nutritional value. You can eat anything, but make that protein plus supplement investment first.

I love eggs!
Like you, eggs do tend to sit in my stomach a little.
I found that eating them slowly helps that.
The good thing is they fill me up and I feel full for hours after I eat them.

Since it’s been a while, I decided to try a loose scramble this morning with a little shredded cheese. I only made it half way through before feeling sick to my stomach. It’s interesting how different we all process certain foods.

I used to like eggs especially egg salad now I can’t stand them . Weird how our tastes change.

At least you gave it a try!

I eat eggs almost daily, omelets most often, but in about every form possible. There isn't a way an egg can be prepared that I don't like.

I miss eggs Benedict. I used bacon instead of ham.

If you get creative, i bet you could figure out way to make Eggs Benedict that’s healthy and lower in calories. I’m amazed at some of the recipes people come up with. Sometimes I even amaze myself!

I still eat eggs Benedict with no I’ll effects. Yum!

Anyone ever had pickled eggs? You hard boil them and peel them and put them in a Tupperware with pickled beets, with the juice covering them. Some people put onions too but I don’t, even though I like onions. I just don’t think they go well. Anyway, you leave them in your fridge for a couple of days, serve with some of that Boars Head horseradish sauce. Yum! Also, if you make deviled eggs out of pickled eggs they are so beautiful and colorful! You can make both pickled and regular and arrange them on a platter, every other one. They taste really good too. The whole consistency of the egg white changes.

Oh I love pickled onions LOL

One of my faves...haven't had that in over a year, and probably won't any time soon, but YUM!

I also feel like there is a blob in my stomach after eating eggs. I do like them, but have gotten away from them for that reason. They make me feel too full. I can eat like two bites of a taquito and I am done, sad, we love taquitos around here.
Tastes did change a lot post op, I did not expect that.

I have avoided eggs since they didn’t settle in my stomach after surgery. Given time I will try again. My fave is over easy. But I like toast to go with them. Tummy won’t do both.

That is a very Pennsylvania Dutch food that they call pickled beet eggs. Yes they are great, and so colorful too.

First time i had them was when i was 19. I live in a border state and could drive to Canada to drink legally. Every bar had pickled eggs and when you ordered your beer, they'd ask how many eggs you wanted so they didn't have to make two trips!
