I'm in the puree phase and one of my books the dr gave said i can have tuna (pureed) but then the"cheat sheet" (for lack of a better term didn't mention it. I was wondering if anyone else was allowed tuna in this stage. TIA!

tuna can be hard to digest. A soft white fish like cod, baked would be better.

I think you'll find what one person can handle well another cannot. I can handle eggs ( many can't) and tuna well, but refried Beans didn't feel good. Make sure whatever it is is very moist and you should do well.

I was advised to leave it for soft foods, but that was just tuna, not pureed. I don't think I'd care to send it through the blender. Lol

I was recommended the same, and I agree...I didn't want to run it through a blender...lol

The big thing when introducing any new foods at this stage is to take your time eating. If you try it and it doesn't sit well it doesn't mean you can't try again, but maybe wait a bit. We all seem to react differently to certain foods. One day eggs would be great, the next terrible.

I started having tuna with a tiny amount of mayo about two weeks post op. I had no issues with it. Good luck.





I tried it and had no issues.... it actually tasted really good (for being blended lol)

      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.
