Canned Chicken/tuna Ideas?



Recommended Posts

I'm in the soft foods stage and I have no idea what to do with the canned meats besides adding some mayo. I can also eat canned or very mushy vegetables. I'm thinking Soups, but I'd appreciate any other ideas.

I use canned chicken with a little light mayo and wasa crackers. It's also good on wheat tortillas pizza style. tuna with light mayo and hard boiled egg whites is good too.

I mix canned chicken with sour cream, mayo and green onions, Yummy. Or chicken, rotel & shredded queso cheese, microwave....delicious! When you get past the soft stage, throw it on a flour shell and brown it. Or tuna, peas mixed together, sprinkle some parmesean cheese on top, microwave for less than a minute. I hope these help.

I like tuna with mayo, chopped egg and shredded sheese.

You can put it on a cracker or wheat thin, or eat it with a fork.

..i really did enjoy mashed potatoes with meat juices added to the broth i was having. i just made it thicker as i got better. i also added cauliflower, pumpkin... they were thoroughly pureed. somtimes i added a little lite sour cream....yummmm.. also added mild salsa for more flavour.... garlic powder.< /p>

I added mayo and relish and put them on club crackers. My dr said club crackers were ok in mushy stage because when you chew club crackers they become purred in your mouth, but you have to chew them properly

Also, I liked to make a baked potato, add fat free cheese and sour cream and eat the mushy potato... You could add chicken t o that

I am not banded yet, but have thought ALOT about the different stages. I am one for flavor, so I would add celery seed, garlic powder and maybe just a touch of dry mustard to the tuna with the mayo and hard boiled egg. I have never used the canned chicken, glad to see some great ideas.

Oh I also use light ranch or blue cheese dressing instead of mayo sometimes.

A great recipe is to the chicken a dry packet of Italian dressing, cream cheese and a can of cream mushroom Soup. I put in crockpot and of course you can use lower fat versions of soup and cream cheese so not as much calories.

      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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
