I put the tuna in the microwave with wax paper over it for 15 seconds. Stir, sprinkle a little shredded cheddar on top and microwave for another 10 seconds. Instant tuna melt!

Or make tuna salad with a bit of low fat may or dressing and eat without the bread. Maybe a cracker or two if you are far enough out from surgery.

I like tuna with chopped boiled egg & mayo, a little salt & pepper with crackers. Some ppl add a little pickle relish.

Also canned chicken is good too, prepared the same way. I ate crackers at 4w post op but follow whatever your surgeon recommends. Even when I did eat crackers the most I could eat was like 3 or 4.

I do it with fat free mayo, mustard, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and if you're allowed raw veggies yet, a few chunks of finely chopped pickles, and tomatoes :)

My doc says no crackers but Pickle Juice and onion powder for flavor are ok. No "lumps" like egg, celery, pickles, onions etc...

      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.
