Quiny 15 Posted March 9, 2013 I have tried to eat salmon, tuna and chicken from can or pouch, however, each time I'm Choking on them after 3 bites. I don't like the taste of fat free or lite mayo. How can I prepare tuna, salmon or chicken w/o choking? any suggestions? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andi 78 Posted March 9, 2013 I haven't had my op yet, but when I make tuna now I try to use just a little mayo & use light italian dressing. It cuts calories & tastes way better (to me). I'm used to having some chopped pickles with my tuna, but maybe a little Pickle Juice wouldn't hurt to moisten & flavor. I'm going to have to remember to ask about seasoning with celery seeds too.

12345 80 Posted March 9, 2013 I use chicken broth to moisten tuna or chicken (which I puree). I eat this with soy crisps. 4 oz. of tuna or chicken is 20 grams of Protein. I add Mrs. Dash seasoning for flavor... 2 RAAinNH and JudyFL reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vsginnj 415 Posted March 9, 2013 Fat free ranch and I never looked back. Kraft olive oil and black pepper mayo is pretty good too! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Quiny 15 Posted March 9, 2013 I will try the different ways to prepare my food. Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pianomom 34 Posted March 9, 2013 I mix a pouch of salmon, a pouch of tuna with egg beaters, a little bit of Panko bread crumbs, dried onion, liquid butter extract, pepper, fat-free cheese and a small amount of apple pie spice (yes, you read that right and no, you really can't taste it that much, just adds a little flavor). Place the mixture in a pan sprayed with Pam and bake at 375 until cooked through and browned on top. Lots of Protein and freezes well, too! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mactrio 41 Posted March 11, 2013 Try unflavored greek yogurt and mix a little at a time until your tuna salad is moist enough. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JennCH 19 Posted March 17, 2013 I put canned chicken and tuna in a food chopper. It makes it goes down much easier. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BB145 34 Posted March 19, 2013 I add a teaspoon of mayo and some Pickle Juice to moisten it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KrystalP 17 Posted March 19, 2013 O my god i tried flounder its the softest and taste so good !!! But As for as salmon i actually took lessons from the queen (my mother) when i first did it i was literally purple from choking but there are serveral ways to make but she says the key is the broth , also you can add a lil olive oil and white wine to the pan but the white wine has to cover the salmon ! I will post my moms several different salmon recipes but try flounder ! Best of luck 1 Poppa2gza reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
victoryinJesus53 21 Posted March 19, 2013 I have tried combining tuna and shrimp, green onions, bell pepper, sweet pickles along with a little regular mayo by dukes and now I am thinking about adding a little plain yogurt for moisture too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Threetimesacharm 1,400 Posted March 19, 2013 You are consuming such little food that I wouldn't worry about fat in your mayo: I never have and had no issues. Use full fat mayo, maybe some spicy mustard. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Musharooni 62 Posted March 19, 2013 I use the tuna in a pouch and Dijonaise. I find some brands of tuna are moister than the others, so try a few different brands until you find the one that is right for you. I enjoy the convenience & portability of the pouches as I can toss them in my desk, purse, briefcase, etc. and I kmow I will always have something good to eat.

WillowAnn 7 Posted March 25, 2013 I hate fat-free of almost anything, but can handle low-fat of many items, including "brand name" mayo. I also find it works well to mix part mayo and part Fage 2% Greek yogurt. I like all the suggestions about using moist cooking methods, too. But this is one of those areas where the use of one of those porous clay cooking pots would be a good thing... I'm always up for a trip to Bed Bath & Beyond!!

GypsyQueen 198 Posted June 9, 2013 I dislike low fat stuff too. The Hellman's canola mayo is great. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
