Bringing home restaurant leftovers



Recommended Posts

What are your thoughts on bringing home the salad from a restaurant meal? I had a yummy caesar salad last night, only took like 3 bites and left it because I thought it would be too soggy to eat the next day. Now I'm day-dreaming over how good that salad was LOL.

I guess if the salad doesn't have dressing on it, it would probably be okay.

I never bring home the salad leftovers anymore. I did a couple of times, and it seemed like the lettuce lost it's luster, that watery stuff would gather in the bottom of the container kind of grossed me out. The only time I'll bring home salad is if I'm going to eat it later that day. I'm a bit of a lettuce snob so it's rare for me to even order salad out, but when I do, I typically eat 90% of it.

I'd bring it home if it didn't have dressing and wrap it up in paper towel then put that in a ziploc bag. That's how I normally store my lettuce in the frig anyway, so maybe it will work with leftovers.

I bring salads home all the time. But I don't keep them longer than 1 day, they get gross afterwards.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
