Ok so I'm 5 mos out and the only thing that bothers me is tuna. Tuna was the first mushy meal I had post op and I threw up all afternoon. Before surgery no tuna problems. I had it today and got sick again. What gives? I love tuna with veggies and a little oil and vinegar. Anyone else in the same boat?? Other than that I really don't have any problems except eating too fast.

Have you tried it plain? Maybe the way you're making it doesn't agree with you.

I would think it may be the way I make it but I eat those things altogether with out the tuna all the time and don't get sick. I dunno. I wonder what it is about tuna. I love it so much my mouth is watering right now thinking about it lol!! But my poor ol tummy just doesn't like it.

At 8 month out I still cant do tuna from a can or packet. It wont even work if i try mixing in mayo or greek yougert. Feels aweful in my tummy. Starkist started to make a tuna salad sandwhich ready packet. I can eat this. Give it a try...they sell it right next to all of the plain tuna foil pack thingys. 100 cal/3 fat/4 carbs/13 Protein for the entire 3 oz pouch. Normally I only eat 2 oz of dense protein but I eat the entire thing and feel satisfied..not full. Love it!

I have a lot of issues with salmon but can eat tuna all day. And I love salmon : (

If you find out why you can't handle tuna, please let me know. Maybe it's the same reason I can't handle salmon.

This is going to sound odd, but does anyone like drinking the juice from a can of tuna in Water? I am OBSESSED with the stuff and wish they sold it in bottles, but my room mate looks at me like I'm a wacko!

I would try the tuna just with a bit of mayo and maybe a little dijon mustard. I think combining the two: veggies and tuna is what is causing it. Good Luck

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
