Canned tuna v. Chicken

[foxhound1214 15]

So I'm 2 weeks post-op and in a few days I can begin adding eggs and tuna to my diet. However, my Dr specifies canned tuna or salmon is okay not chicken or any other meat. Because i dont, never have liked tuna I am questioning why this is. Any ideas?

In my opinion the chicken is much more dry so hard to digest at first. The tuna and salmon are much more moist. I love the salmon in the pouch.

As the others have said, chicken is too tough. tuna is very mushy so can be easily swallowed and digested at very early stages. How do you make your tuna? I don't know if that might make a difference. I now use non-fat plain greek yogurt instead of mayo to make mine. I also put in relish. I don't know if you should or not but it's the only way I will eat tuna.

Ah ha, okay. That makes sense. I have no tuna experience. LOL
