Do you measure your salads???



Recommended Posts

I love salad too! Before I hit the gym...I go to the A&P (which is right next door) which has an awesome salad bar. I also like the Balsamic Vinegarette or the Raspberry walnut vinegarette which are both low-fat & low in sugar...Ken's makes good ones. I just figure on a tablespoon to measure...chicken slices, chick peas, hard boiled egg crumbles, sunflower seeds, dried cranberries...yummy.

LOL...all my friends think I'm strange because I love salads. I even order a salad at Wendys...even before I got my band! I love salad bars but make an effort not to put croutons & alot of cheese on it. I'm glad to find out that salad is considered a "slider" because I don't have any restriction now since I only have 1cc in my 14cc band.

Cya!

I finally found out how to do it. Click on anyone's ticker and it'll take you to the ticker web site. Then you have to create an account and your ticker. Once you do that- copy and paste the bb code to your signature under your profile. good luck.

I dont know why people consider salad a slider food...It keeps me full for hours....but then I only use good lettuce not iceburg i use a lot of different kinds of Beans I add chicken and egg, Tomato, carrots, avacado....so for me it's not a slider and i never get stuck on salad...

haha but it doesn't taste that great. I just can think of better things to eat than a salad. Also be extremely careful if you eat a salad at a restaurant. They can have 2,000 calories.

Well luckily ive had good luck eating salads , and i love them . My Portion Control is about a cup max....im restricted good.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
