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



Recommended Posts

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.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
