Chicken Salad without Mayo



Recommended Posts

There is something called Nayonaise that you can get in a lot of stores that is a soy product and low calories. It's not bad.

Are you trying to stay away from mayo because of the calories? I was going to also, but my surgeon told me not to; the idea of the band is to eat smaller portions and the fat keeps you satisfied.

you could also mix the nayonaise with real mayo

If you like something a little spicier, I use buffalo wing sauce. I especially like Franks Hot Sauce Buffalo wing sacue. I think like 10 calories and very low fat. I also add in some ff ranch. Very good stuff.

I use fat free ranch or lite vidalia onion sometimes. It's pretty good, but not as good as mayo in my opinion. I've also done low-fat plain yogurt with a chutney of some kind like mango. That's yummy!

As previously suggested by Georgia Girl, I make my tuna and chicken salad with Tostitos Spinach Dip. 2 Tbsp has 50 calories, 4 g of fat, 1 g of fibre and 1 g of Protein. I don't have any regular mayo in my house, but this dip has 1/2 the calories of light mayo.

It is delicious and adds a bit of snap and crunch (it has tiny pieces of red pepper, Water chesnut and spinach) to the salads. The southwestern dip by tostitos is also delicious.

Mix it with plain yogurt, S&P, and relish.. in place of the mayo..

Mix with mustard, S&P, and relish..and leave out the mayo..

Ranch dressing would probably be good too.

      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.
