Chicken or fish Lite Mayo or regular mayo



Recommended Posts

I have tried to eat salmon, tuna and chicken from can or pouch, however, each time I'm Choking on them after 3 bites. I don't like the taste of fat free or lite mayo. How can I prepare tuna, salmon or chicken w/o choking? any suggestions?

I haven't had my op yet, but when I make tuna now I try to use just a little mayo & use light italian dressing. It cuts calories & tastes way better (to me). I'm used to having some chopped pickles with my tuna, but maybe a little Pickle Juice wouldn't hurt to moisten & flavor. I'm going to have to remember to ask about seasoning with celery seeds too.

I use chicken broth to moisten tuna or chicken (which I puree). I eat this with soy crisps. 4 oz. of tuna or chicken is 20 grams of Protein. I add Mrs. Dash seasoning for flavor...

Fat free ranch and I never looked back. Kraft olive oil and black pepper mayo is pretty good too!

I mix a pouch of salmon, a pouch of tuna with egg beaters, a little bit of Panko bread crumbs, dried onion, liquid butter extract, pepper, fat-free cheese and a small amount of apple pie spice (yes, you read that right and no, you really can't taste it that much, just adds a little flavor). Place the mixture in a pan sprayed with Pam and bake at 375 until cooked through and browned on top. Lots of Protein and freezes well, too!

Try unflavored greek yogurt and mix a little at a time until your tuna salad is moist enough.

I put canned chicken and tuna in a food chopper. It makes it goes down much easier.

O my god i tried flounder its the softest and taste so good !!! But As for as salmon i actually took lessons from the queen (my mother) when i first did it i was literally purple from choking but there are serveral ways to make but she says the key is the broth , also you can add a lil olive oil and white wine to the pan but the white wine has to cover the salmon ! I will post my moms several different salmon recipes but try flounder ! Best of luck

I have tried combining tuna and shrimp, green onions, bell pepper, sweet pickles along with a little regular mayo by dukes and now I am thinking about adding a little plain yogurt for moisture too.

You are consuming such little food that I wouldn't worry about fat in your mayo: I never have and had no issues. Use full fat mayo, maybe some spicy mustard.

I use the tuna in a pouch and Dijonaise. I find some brands of tuna are moister than the others, so try a few different brands until you find the one that is right for you. I enjoy the convenience & portability of the pouches as I can toss them in my desk, purse, briefcase, etc. and I kmow I will always have something good to eat.

I hate fat-free of almost anything, but can handle low-fat of many items, including "brand name" mayo. I also find it works well to mix part mayo and part Fage 2% Greek yogurt.

I like all the suggestions about using moist cooking methods, too. But this is one of those areas where the use of one of those porous clay cooking pots would be a good thing... I'm always up for a trip to Bed Bath & Beyond!!

I dislike low fat stuff too. The Hellman's canola mayo is great.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
