Mayo?? Which do u prefer?



Recommended Posts

I am wondering which mayo u successful bandsters use for things like chicken salad and egg salad? I am about out of light mayo and was wondering what people think of the fat free or the olive oil type?

I use Best Foods (Hellman's) Light mayo. LOVE it! It's 35 calories per tablespoon, and works great in everything I've used it for.

I think the answer to your question is, if you use full fat mayo, just be sure to count the calories. I avoid it now, because I don't get enough bang for my buck (so to speak).

That's the kind I have been using too. I haven't tried the fat free kind and am worried it will taste gross. Lol

I've had fat free before, and hate it. It doesn't give the creaminess of the regular or low fat. I ended up throwing it out. BUT, that's not to say that you won't like it. Maybe pick up the smallest jar and see what you think ;)

I use regular helmans but do it half and half with Fage 0% Greek yogurt. Its actually super creamy and I've used it to make chicken salad, Pasta salad, and pimento cheese. I dont like the taste and texture of the lite mayos, and this helps to reduce the amount used and adds some extra Protein.< /p>

Hey, I will ONLY use Hellman's regular or light. If you gave me a blind taste test I would be able to tell the difference. I don't use a lot of mayo because of the fat and calories in the regular Hellman's but I can't use any other brand. If I'm in a restaurant I try not to order anything that is mayo based like tuna or chicken salad. I usually order Condiments on the side anyway.

I'm not into fat free mayo from Hellman's but the light and regular I prefer.

I use Fage Greek 0% yogurt and some mustard in all salad type mixtures. The few times I've eaten a sandwich I just used mustard.

Before banding I would use the reduced fat but found the non-fat just didn't have the same consistency or texture or something.

I too use regular mayo and focus on limiting carbs. It is what works for me.

      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.
