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.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
