I've started my pureed's and it says that I can eat tuna fish, can this be eaten with crackers or is that a no?

I'm allowed to have crackers, and I'm on the pureed and soft food stage. My NUT told me to pick a cracker that will dissolve easily, like a saltine or Breton cracker. It basically turns to mush in your mouth, and then I chew it to death. It's a good thing for me to have now to put things on, until I can move to the raw fruits and veggies stage. I like the sound of using cucumber slices and can't wait to try that. But to echo others, every plan is different so follow the one that has been set out for you.

I bought pickle juice frozen pops! I'm saving them for postop.

Some ideas:

Nothing (plain tuna or get the flavored tuna packets)

Avocado

A dab of real Mayo

Aioli (I have some flavored aioli from Stonewall Kitchen that is really good.)

Lowfat gravy

Tzatziki sauce

Pesto

Salsa

Bruschetta sauce

Crackers are on my soft food list from my surgeon. I stay away because I'm trying to get in my protien

I mix dill relish and the juice into my tuna with some regular mayo . It cuts the sugar that I used to use in my pre op days of using sweet relish . Also the flavor packets of tuna are awesome bc they don't need to be refrigerated and you can throw them in your purse for traveling . You can also do a mix of boiled eggs and tuna and get more protein in

I do tuna and boiled egg mushed together. A tad but if dill relish. And then enough plain Greek yogurt to make it moist.

Duke's Mayo (I'm from the south) make a sandwich "relish" that is delicious. It's basically mayo and relish mixed. Perfect ratio for tuna or chicken salad.

Have y'all ever had ham salad? It's delicious. Basically you use it like tuna but it's finally diced ham. YUM.

@@LipstickLady I love ham salad! It's something my Nana used to eat and I often get it at the deli. I've never made my own but will some day!

Hey! I raised and showed--and judged poodles for years. I love the standards-silvers and blues.

Anyway, I digress---anytime for poodle talk!

I just add lemon go tuna. and lots of it.

Keep posting and let us know how your journey is going. I know it will be joyful since you have poodles! POODLES RULE!

Prayers going up.

It's SO easy. I throw some ham in my mini food processor and buzz it a few times. Then I add a generous plop of mayo and sweet relish and a dash of vidalia onion. Buzz it again to desired consistency and use as a spread during your puree' days or as a chunkier spoonable salad when you can have soft foods.

I have been known to use lighter sodium spam but I won't admit that out loud.

My soft foods includies two saltines in my diet plan which is surprising given how restrictive my nut seems in comparison to others.

I'm 7 days post op today and I'm not allowed to eat anything that can't be sucked up through a straw, until week 3 which I'm calling the baby food stage lol
