Can You Have Tofu? Tuna And Mayo?



Recommended Posts

My post op diet stages are...

First week: Clear liquids.

Second week: full liquids.< /p>

Third week: pureed foods.

Fourth and fifth week: soft foods.

Do you think tofu would work for the soft food stage?

Also has anyone had tuna and mayo blended for there pureed stage?

I had started tuna and mayo in the puréed stage.. Just make sure it's super thin consistency- lemon juice helps thin it out

I was allowed to skip pureed foods and go to soft foods. tuna was the very first thing I had. Even without it being super thin, it was just fine for me.

Oh, I think tofu would work just fine for soft foods (I'm allowed to have regular ground meats!) since it's so soft, depending on how its cooked.

Tofu was on my pureed stage diet and I cook it with reduced sodium soy sauce and a few drops of sesame seed oil. Yum! I have to wait till next week when I transition to the soft food stage to have tuna and mayo. Can't wait!

Tofu is your friend! I LOVE it. I got a thing of hot and sour Soup from a Chinese restaurant and strained out the solids (keeping the tofu); then I added more tofu to soak up the flavor of that yummy broth--Oh that was delicious after a couple of weeks of liquids!!

You can also bake tofu in marinara sauce (along the lines of the famous Eggface ricotta cheese bake recipe) for an Italian fix. Man, now I need some tofu!!

This search on Google can help: tofu recipes ("low fat" OR "low calorie" OR healthful)

Also, you can puree tofu in the blender along with some splenda or equal + Water or milk + fruit or Protein powder - even green leafy vegetables, such as spinach!. Puree it on the highest speed (I have a VitaMix). Add a few ice cubes and puree them as well. You have a smoothee. You essentially turntofu into a liquid. This pureeing technique works with firm, medium, soft and silken textures of tofu. I do find that different brands of tofu have different flavors. My own personal favorite brand is Mori Nu. You can order cases of Mori Nu online. But other people might find other brands to be better. Tofu always has helped me lose weight in the past. I hope that this information is helpful.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
