Is Salad A Red Flag Food?



Recommended Posts

Everyone is different..some people have no problems with anything...lucky them...and then there is me..everything changes ..sometimes I can and sometimes I can't..so I have come to rely on the feel of things...if after the first two small bites I feel like it will become a stuck situation I stop...don't care what the cost of the dish or if I slaved for a while preparing..pbing or whatever is awful and I will try to avoid doing that...sometimes its hard to be a lapbander...

Thanks for sharing. Well my doctor gave me a list of "red flag " foods to stay away from. I just assumed this was universal list for lap band patients. I know hot dogs is on the list for an example just couldn't remember about salad. But it sounds like everyone does fine with it. Good eats!

hm, i eat a ff turkey hot dog every now and then. Protein is good and i can deal with it being low calorie. i am not a sodium person, so this little sodium does not bother me at all.

all the best my dear :)

I just noticed that your only a week before me, but I can't start solids until week 7!

I know isn't it crazy how surgeons can be so different with their plans compared to others. LOL

I am a little nervous, at the same time my band is completely empty as I just went to my surgeons office yesterday because I had trapped air in my band after surgery and she removed the air from the band. I don't go back for almost another 4-6 weeks.

Next week is a family bbq I am making homemade potato salad, but I will put a little on the side and make mine 'lower' in fat. I am nervous about eatting a hot dog, but I will just remember to take very tiny small bites and chew till that baby is mush ..LOL Oh, and watermelon for dessert!

ya have to let me know how you did on your solids when you are able to ... :)

Agree... I prefer the oil one, not the creamy! It is so good! Reminds me of Olive Garden salad dressing! Love it!

I might have to try some of these salad dressings suggested. I have a hard time committing to them because it seems the majority I do not like and they go to waste.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
