Mayo in your tuna salad or egg salad?



Recommended Posts

I use full fat mayo but I hardly have anything that requires mayo. Moderation and you will be fine!

I use full fat but not as much as I did pre-op. I also like Stonewall Kitchen aiolis. They have several different flavors that add a bit of flavor variation to plain tuna.< /p>

Wish I still could, but when I try to eat things that are full fat, I just die in pain and ultimately, dump! Wahhh, Lol!

I used to love mayo-loaded salads and was even known to eat it right off the spoon. Even though I still do full fat now, a little goes a long way. I've even started adding cottage cheese to things like pimento cheese so it's not so rich.

Sometimes tastes change in the long haul. I used to like mayo, but now it does not like me much. Really unclear why, but with every year post op, things change some?

Avocado agrees with me, so that can be a substitute for some. Others mention cottage cheese or yogurt for alternatives.

We all keep adapting... If we didn't, we would not be successful IMHO

My sources say yes! I'm also going to add in avocado.

@@Djmohr hi hun do you of you have ever tried a diet soda of it that totally out of the question?

I was told if you want to have diet soda or any carbonated beverage, you have to let it go flat first. I am just thinking of my diet coke addiction the same as I did cigarettes. Bye Bye friend!

@@sparksrn, sorry for the delayed response I'm recovering from pneumonia. A long limb bypass was done in the early bypass days. They reattach the Y limb much further down causing less absorption, still. They did it in hopes of giving really heavy people, I was 340 lbs., at 5' 3", a bigger advantage. It was later discovered to only have a slight WLS advantage, and, unfortunately, creates yet bigger nutritional deficiencies. Although, it has prevented me from eating a lot of the foods with higher fat quantities. It certainly helped motivate me to not eat them! Lol

Also, you can use plain nonfat Greek yogurt in place of mayo, with some mustard and seasonings.

      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.
