hey guys sorry to post this again but I think that thread is very buried

Do you guys eat a lot of tuna? I actually really like it and it's a good source of Protein. But sometimes just tuna salad can get boring. I'm always trying different ways to make it more interesting. Here are some things I came up with.

Each recipe uses one can of tuna and is usually at least two lunches for me. Also my measurements are my best guess as I don't usually measure things. You can always add more or less of an ingredient.

Southwestern tuna

1 tablespoon corn, 1 tablespoon black Beans, 1 tablespoon diced red onion, 1 tablespoon rotel, 1 teaspoon mayo

Asian style tuna

1 tablespoon sliced green onion, quarter teaspoon grated ginger, 1 teaspoon soy sauce. I didn't add any mayo to this one but you can add some if you want it to be moister (is moister a word?)

Mediteranian tuna

1 tablespoon sliced kalamata olives, 1 teaspoon chopped dill, 1 tablespoon diced cucumber, 1 tablespoon greek yogurt, a small squeeze of lemon juice

taco tuna

a little bit of shredded lettuce,1 tablespoon of diced canned tomatoes and 1 tablespoon of the juice, 1 tablespoon diced red onion, pinch or two of taco seasoning to taste

tomato basil tuna

1 tablespoon diced tomatoes, 1 tablespoon chopped basil, 1 teaspoon mayo

lemony tuna

1 tablespoon capers, a good squirt of lemon juice, a pinch of lemon pepper, 1 teaspoon of mayo

Try using a little ginger and mustard. Way less fat than mayo and I think it tastes great.

      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.
