Ok so I'm 5 mos out and the only thing that bothers me is tuna. Tuna was the first mushy meal I had post op and I threw up all afternoon. Before surgery no tuna problems. I had it today and got sick again. What gives? I love tuna with veggies and a little oil and vinegar. Anyone else in the same boat?? Other than that I really don't have any problems except eating too fast.

Have you tried it plain? Maybe the way you're making it doesn't agree with you.

I would think it may be the way I make it but I eat those things altogether with out the tuna all the time and don't get sick. I dunno. I wonder what it is about tuna. I love it so much my mouth is watering right now thinking about it lol!! But my poor ol tummy just doesn't like it.

At 8 month out I still cant do tuna from a can or packet. It wont even work if i try mixing in mayo or greek yougert. Feels aweful in my tummy. Starkist started to make a tuna salad sandwhich ready packet. I can eat this. Give it a try...they sell it right next to all of the plain tuna foil pack thingys. 100 cal/3 fat/4 carbs/13 Protein for the entire 3 oz pouch. Normally I only eat 2 oz of dense protein but I eat the entire thing and feel satisfied..not full. Love it!

I have a lot of issues with salmon but can eat tuna all day. And I love salmon : (

If you find out why you can't handle tuna, please let me know. Maybe it's the same reason I can't handle salmon.

This is going to sound odd, but does anyone like drinking the juice from a can of tuna in Water? I am OBSESSED with the stuff and wish they sold it in bottles, but my room mate looks at me like I'm a wacko!

I would try the tuna just with a bit of mayo and maybe a little dijon mustard. I think combining the two: veggies and tuna is what is causing it. Good Luck

      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.
