salad is a slider for me. With or without dressing. I know others have said the same.

Just because it is a slider food for you it is not for everyone. I still have to eat salads slowly or they will get stuck. This is a great way for people to get in their vegetables. There are no vegetables that are bad for you even if you consider them sliders.

I am not able to eat salad at all. No matter how much I chew, it just doesn't work out well for me.

I ran across this site the other day and it reminded me of what cheryl2586 posted here, now mind you we can't eat all the stuff that they suggest on the site, but there is some really good ideas like the salad one: http://thedecoratedcookie.com/2010/10/a-mason-jar-meal-my-6th-pfb-challenge/

Here is a trick to eating salad everyday for lunch. Make a few jars on Sunday night and just grab one to bring to work every day. When you're ready to eat' date=' just shake it up. The key is to make sure the dressing and the Leafy greens don't touch.[/quote']

That looks good and its a great idea. What's in it.

Why couscous

Couscous is the only Pasta that is packed with Protein. Makes a great addition to any salad.< /p>

One more question too... Do you weigh the vegetables as you put them into the jar for Portion Control?

I would measure a cup and that is it.

What kind of dressing do you put in the jar? I love this idea! Thank you for sharing it!

I do not use fat free anything but if you want fat free that is okay too.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
