Is this a good food choice ?

I bought some seafood salad and Atlantic salmon salad for the 4Th of July celebration. I haven't had my surgery yet so everything I eat I'm looking to see if it is something I can incorporate into my food choices after my surgery. So I was looking at the label for the seafood salad: serving size is 4oz. Calories 190 Carbs 15g Protein is 5g Sodium is 630mg. The Salmon salad is serving size 4oz Calories 260 Carb 5gm Protein 14g Sodium 320mg. Both of these salads are mayonnaise based and very mushy like except for a few chunks of crab meat that could be broken down with a fork. So my question is is this a good food choice at mushy/ blended stage ? Also the serving size is 4oz do you even eat 4oz at the mushy stage? Need advice OH family!!
The Salmon salad sounds better because it only has 5 grams of carbs. Post-op most plans limit carbs to less than 40 grams per day.
In the pureed stage your capacity for dense protein will likely be 2-4 oz.
The Seafood salad probably has imitation crab meat which is high in carbs. You could make both these salads at home and end up with fewer carbs and sodium.
