I'm allowed to have crackers, and I'm on the pureed and soft food stage. My NUT told me to pick a cracker that will dissolve easily, like a saltine or Breton cracker. It basically turns to mush in your mouth, and then I chew it to death. It's a good thing for me to have now to put things on, until I can move to the raw fruits and veggies stage. I like the sound of using cucumber slices and can't wait to try that. But to echo others, every plan is different so follow the one that has been set out for you.

What does everyone mix the tuna with? Or egg? Or ground chicken?

Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Some ideas:

Nothing (plain tuna or get the flavored tuna packets)

Avocado

A dab of real mayo

Aioli (I have some flavored aioli from Stonewall Kitchen that is really good.)

Lowfat gravy

Tzatziki sauce

Pesto

Salsa

Bruschetta sauce

I mix dill relish and the juice into my tuna with some regular mayo . It cuts the sugar that I used to use in my pre op days of using sweet relish . Also the flavor packets of tuna are awesome bc they don't need to be refrigerated and you can throw them in your purse for traveling . You can also do a mix of boiled eggs and tuna and get more Protein in

Hey! I raised and showed--and judged poodles for years. I love the standards-silvers and blues.

Anyway, I digress---anytime for poodle talk! :)

I just add lemon go tuna. and lots of it.

Keep posting and let us know how your journey is going. I know it will be joyful since you have poodles! POODLES RULE!

Prayers going up.

@@LipstickLady I love ham salad! It's something my Nana used to eat and I often get it at the deli. I've never made my own but will some day!

It's SO easy. I throw some ham in my mini food processor and buzz it a few times. Then I add a generous plop of mayo and sweet relish and a dash of vidalia onion. Buzz it again to desired consistency and use as a spread during your puree' days or as a chunkier spoonable salad when you can have soft foods.

I have been known to use lighter sodium spam but I won't admit that out loud.

My soft foods includies two saltines in my diet plan which is surprising given how restrictive my nut seems in comparison to others.

      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.
