suggestions for tuna, chicken, and egg salads



Recommended Posts

Most will think this is gross but instead of mayo I use cottage cheese instead in my tuna. Mayo bothers my stomach and I don't love tuna so I have to mix it in something. pineapple cottage cheese and MMmmm dessert. Don't knock it till ya try it.

I to love cottage cheese! I even eat it with speghetti o's and it reminds me of lasagna. lol I'll have to try it with tuna. I also eat cottage cheese on baked lays chips :)

I like mine on a toasted sandwich thin or 100 cal multi-grain toasted english muffin. bread seems to work a little better for me if I toast it. However, I just had a fill and it has made a big difference in how things go down. Haven't tried much bread yet. I also do the lettuce wrap thing. Bibb is the best to use, but I don't see it in the stores here very often.

I eat potatos maybe once a week. I usually just do protien and veg. but sometimes I really want a potato. It is good for you until you load it with extras.

Good Luck to you!

Once on solids I would'nt recommend chicken/egg/ham salad as it is a slider; and often made with mayo (high in fat). I make chicken sandwhiches every day for lunch using a Romaine lettuce leaf, spread low fat laughing cow cheese on the spine, chicken breast strips, mustard. Roll it up and enjoy. For 3 oz of chicken I usually need 3 lettuce leaves. During mushies and post fill I mixed shredded chicken with low fat laughing cow cheese instead of mayo. The other plus is it can be microwaved.

I'm not a fan of chicken salad.. but I eat tuna and egg salad by themselves. Another thing I've just recently read and tried.. is taking a couple wedges of Laughin Cow cheese and mixing with a packet of tuna. I eat this mixture by itself or try to mix it with a little lettuce.. it's very yummy!

thanks for this idea. Love laughing cow. :)

I like cottage cheese with salsa and some chips. Makes a good lunch.< img src="https://s.bariatricpal.com/uploads/emoticons/default_smile.png" alt=":)" srcset="https://s.bariatricpal.com/uploads/emoticons/smile@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20" />

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
