What Do You Take With Your Tuna?



Recommended Posts

I love the bumble bee tuna chili spicy thai. I usually take it just on its own. I am 4 weeks post op and trying to avoid as much as possible carbs, my first thought was crackers but I realize those are so easy to take in and could become a slider food. So what do you take with your tuna? And if it is crackers which do you suggest?

i usually eat the same spicy tuna but when i get sick of it I make a bit of Tuna salad with greek yogurt, cheese, pickle relish and mustard.

I love the Wasa Rye crisps (11g carbs/slice) and can only do a single cracker piled high with tuna for a meal.... so for me the trade off's are worth it. I dont watch my carbs as much as I should, but I also eat the multigrain "everything" flavor bagel thins with tuna for a quick bite and it works just as good (20g carbs for 2 crisps)

My nutritionist pointed me in the direction of these tortillas from a company called La Tortilla. They have lots of different flavored tortillas to use for wraps and such. They're low carb, contain 5-8 grams of Protein, and are high Fiber. http://latortillafactory.com/products-3.aspx

I add a chopped boiled egg with a little relish, salt, pepper and two tablespoon of mayo (The low fat kraft mayo with olive oil). I then make lettuce wraps just drop the tuna mix/flatten it in the middle of my lettuce and roll it twice. Yummy, yummy, yummy.

I buy the pouches of StarKist Sandwich Ready tuna. It is so good. It is mixed with mayo and very tiny diced cekery for some crunch ( so small you don't have to worry about the trings). I put it on a Wasa craker and 1/2 slice of murnster cheese and tick it under broiler til cheese tarts to melt and you have a great tuna melt. These tune pouches re great. They are 90 calories and the ouch does not have to be refrigerated until after opened. When I am out running errands or will be out awhile, I always take one with me. Just open and eat riht out of he pouch.

      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!
