suggestions for tuna, chicken, and egg salads



Recommended Posts

Most will think this is gross but instead of mayo I use cottage cheese instead in my tuna. Mayo bothers my stomach and I don't love tuna so I have to mix it in something. pineapple cottage cheese and MMmmm dessert. Don't knock it till ya try it.

I to love cottage cheese! I even eat it with speghetti o's and it reminds me of lasagna. lol I'll have to try it with tuna. I also eat cottage cheese on baked lays chips :)

I like mine on a toasted sandwich thin or 100 cal multi-grain toasted english muffin. bread seems to work a little better for me if I toast it. However, I just had a fill and it has made a big difference in how things go down. Haven't tried much bread yet. I also do the lettuce wrap thing. Bibb is the best to use, but I don't see it in the stores here very often.

I eat potatos maybe once a week. I usually just do protien and veg. but sometimes I really want a potato. It is good for you until you load it with extras.

Good Luck to you!

Once on solids I would'nt recommend chicken/egg/ham salad as it is a slider; and often made with mayo (high in fat). I make chicken sandwhiches every day for lunch using a Romaine lettuce leaf, spread low fat laughing cow cheese on the spine, chicken breast strips, mustard. Roll it up and enjoy. For 3 oz of chicken I usually need 3 lettuce leaves. During mushies and post fill I mixed shredded chicken with low fat laughing cow cheese instead of mayo. The other plus is it can be microwaved.

I'm not a fan of chicken salad.. but I eat tuna and egg salad by themselves. Another thing I've just recently read and tried.. is taking a couple wedges of Laughin Cow cheese and mixing with a packet of tuna. I eat this mixture by itself or try to mix it with a little lettuce.. it's very yummy!

thanks for this idea. Love laughing cow. :)

I like cottage cheese with salsa and some chips. Makes a good lunch.< img src="https://s.bariatricpal.com/uploads/emoticons/default_smile.png" alt=":)" srcset="https://s.bariatricpal.com/uploads/emoticons/smile@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20" />

      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!
