Mayo in your tuna salad or egg salad?

[meryl0707 16]

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

Olive oil mayo is the best option

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

@@Arielle Phoenix What is a long limb RNY? How is it different from a regular RNY?

@@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.

[Arielle Phoenix 12]

I do that most often! Thought it would be icky, but I like it, using greek yogurt, minced garlic and spices!
