Four weeks out and eating salad like no one's business!



Recommended Posts

I am four weeks out and like the topic title states...I have been eating salad left and right! I would add diced boiled egg, avocado, fish, some cheese and drizzle it with a vinaigrette such as raspberry or balsamic.

Are you a salad lover? I don't have restriction yet, but I have read and heard that many people cannot tolerate

salad after getting fills..

This doesn't sound like a salad to me. My definition of a salad would be lots of raw veggies - lettuce, carrot, mushroom,cucumber,tomato,green or red peppers etc . Adding one type of Protein such as tuna, chicken etc is fine but if the main part of the "salad" is mixed Proteins then what you are actually consuming is a high calorie, high fat meal.

Avo's are good for you but they are high in fat. cheese is high in fat. Egg is fine and so is fish but you don't really need these plus the cheese etc.

It seems these days anything passes as a salad so long as it has a couple of token lettuce leaves in it.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
