Tried my first "bariatric" recipe...outside of making shakes...

[Sadlers1999 169]

My doctor's office had a ChefDave.org recipe out called "Smooth Albacore tuna Spread." Tried it last night. pureed 7 oz albacore tuna, 1 tsp hot sauce, 1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice, 1/4 cup light mayo, 1/4 cup light sour cream, 2 Tbsp fresh dill and 1 tsp garlic, minced. This makes SIX two-tablespoon servings. 8 g. Protein, 90 cal. The only thing I will do differently next time is omit the garlic. It's a little much for my stomach right now. I was skeptical that 2 Tbsps of tuna would be "satisfying," but it was.

Well, I am only in week 3, but with differences in physician instructions, I am probably one of the few people in this forum who can eat this at week 3.

Well, I am also notably the one who hasn't lost much weight. Coincidence?

At week three, I can move to "smooth" foods. Is that what you are doing?

My doctor calls the food "soft," but chef Dave calls this recipe "smooth.". Not sure if it's the same, but it seems similar.
