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

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      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!!
