OMG I could not wait until today......could finally add tuna and scrambled eggs. Ate 1/4 tuna sand for supper and broke out in serious hives! Called the Dr. Even he was stumped. Been eating tuna my whole life. The husband is at the store now getting me benedril. Any body else experience this? And I couldnt wait to finally start eating semi sold foods. Lets hope I have not developed an allergy to all seafoods. That would really suck.

I cant have fish at all..I even quit breathing almost from cross contamination in a restaurant about 9 months ..so beware fo that when you eat out ask questions..I have to carry an epic needle with me now...not only that if you have and kinda of medical stuff down , xrays , operations whatever it be..put Iodine down as an allergy..cause it could kill you..good luck...

Not weird at all I had an iodine allergy bad for years in the 90s .went away and it came back when pushing fish/seafood heavy to lose weight...Iodine poisining is not an unusal thing at all !

I was actually referring to the original post when I said weird, but I cannot imagine not being able to eat fish!

Fish can cause allergies. It seems those with higher fat content are worse.
By tuna sandwich, I take it you mean tuna cans. Canned food can cause allergies as well due to the preservatives, unless they are homemade canned foods.

hi there... I broke out in hives about a month out as well all over my stomach, mine didnt end up being what I ate but I was allergic to the surgery glue. I never itches so much for a good week. Did the hives go away? Best wishes.

No I had tuna with miracle whip on wheat bread....1/4 of a sandwich. Still not postive it was the tuna...still itching today but not as bad. Will try tuna again in a week and see what happens, but I will have the benedril ready

I know that fish allergies can creep up at any time, so that's scary!

Anyway, might I suggest staying off the bread this early out? Bread (even wheat bread) is full of carbs and sugar. You're only 2 weeks out. I know when I was cleared at 2 weeks post-surgery, it was for scrambled eggs, tuna...basically thicker liquids.Call your dietitian at the surgeon's office and make sure you are following their food suggestions. Tuna is just that - tuna (not with bread, dressing, etc.).

I'm not trying to be harsh, but you should be eating protein (like tuna) first, then veggies, then carbs last. I don't want to see you set yourself up to possibly fail! Good luck!

I am eating exactly the way the doctor orderd. Toasted bread, no veg's till next week, so no need to be harsh
