Salads!

Probably the food I have most dreaded trying was salads. I have put off eating one for fear of it causing an issue. Well, Saturday I tried a small salad, and . . . TA-DA!!! No issues! I've had one almost every day since! Still no issues. So thankful :P I have missed having salads and now that it seems they aren't an issue, it's such a relief.

 

I'm down 45lbs today, and am so happy!! This sleeve definitely rocks!

 

I watched a series of videos on YouTube last night about a 19 year old boy in Houston, Texas who weighed 799lbs. It was heartbreaking. I thought about how easily that could have been me if I didn't get things under control. It's horrifying what "junk food" and "fast food" can do to one's body, and how horribly addictive those things can be. For me, NEVER AGAIN!! I am now in control of what I eat and what I don't eat.

 

I never knew that the sleeve was an option for me, if not for this forum. I wouldn't have had the courage to go through with it if not for the encouragement and support of folks on this board! Thank the Lord I found it. :wub:

I am going to start having salads, I have a thing about eating lettuce with no nutritional value. But I have been missing them and do eat a little bite here and there. ;)

I am so happy to hear that salads are ok. I was dreading not being able to eat salads, I love them. Hopw I have the same ability to eat them after a few months. Its this and so many other little things that keep me motivated to have the surgery. I will be following your success..

Good Luck

Marcia
