I love hellmans real mayo but they do have one made with olive oil that's 35 calories per tbsp.

I hate most mayo, so I've made a sandwich spread out of cottage cheese that I've processed smooth in my little 3 cup food processor (a blender works, too). Add a little lemon juice, or garlic, or some herbs & you're good to go. Also, you can drain plain yogurt overnight with some cheesecloth in a strainer. The result is thicker, more like mayo or sour cream.

That's so wrong lol. That's not Mayonnaise, but then again, I did ask for a substitute. I'm from the south where Dukes mayonnaise is a food group of its own lol. I'm just messing with you, my wife LOVES Miracle Whip. I HATE it except in her potato salad.

I can be fine without mayo when used as a spread, although I LOVE it, but as a binder these ideas are great

I am probably going to rile up a bunch of people! I don't use low fat or sugar free anything... never have since day one post-op. I ate ALL sugar free and fat free everything since I was 7 years old and guess what? I ended up 260 pounds. So, I eat the real deal in small portions, I am so much more satisfied and healthy. I have maintained my goal weight for a year and counting. When you are eating such small amounts of things I truly believe real fat is much better than processed, fat removed, sugar added crap. My cholesterol is normal, all my labs are great. Just my opinion!!

I don't do low fat anything. The moderation is key to success. Eating around your sleeve will harm you. Not eating fat free wont in moderation. I've lost 103 lbs in 5 months so the proof is in the pudding!

Funny you mentioned that. My cholesterols, sugars, and sodium levels have always been perfect, and I've always ate what I wanted. Weight and blood pressure.....welllll I guess that's why I'm here haha.

I agree with Sleeve of Steel.. and fyre_storm... i always have regular and the fat free kind in stock.. just that even a teaspoon of regualr mayo/ranch/or anything.. these days.. kinda makes me feel guilty..with all kinds of "what if" questions..

honestly.. I hate low fat/fat free stuff.. i feel like a lab rat when I look at the ingridients list.. :) will have to reason with my guilt.. that is not going to be easy..!

Try Bolthouse Farms yogurt dressing as a mayo substitute. It comes in a lot of flavors and has only 45 calories for 2 tablespoons. It's in the refrigerated section of the produce department.

All I want to use it for is a binder with tuna or chicken, so yogurt with a little seasoning may work

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
