Jimmy Johns Unwiches



Recommended Posts

My coworker invited me to go along to Jimmy Johns with her. I was hesitant because I LOVE Jimmy Johns and knew that the smell would make me really want a sandwich. Since I'm only 6 weeks post-op I am staying FAR away from breads and pastas.

I have never noticed their Unwiches before (why would I when I was enjoying their delicious bread? ) but they will make any of their subs into an Unwich, which is just a lettuce wrap. I had the Club Lulu, my favorite sandwich, as an Unwich today and it is amazingly good!!! 30g of Protein (if you can eat the whole thing which, of course, I couldn't....managed about 3 bites) but it will make for an excellent snack or next meal.

This may have been discussed already but I figured I would let you all know about it. I am so happy to be able to have Jimmy Johns! Delicious, and only 2 carbs.

I just recently found out about that also and it is one of the few places that delivers where I work. Can't wait to try it.

Can you tolerate the lettuce? I'm five weeks out and it sounds great.

I haven't had any trouble with lettuce. I take small bites and chew everything really well. So far so good. :)

I am 6 week post gastric sleeve. This past weekend my family was in from out of town and my parents decided to fry fish and do a huge salad😋 two of My favs. I ate the inside of the fish and a few bites of salad and it was amazing.. well today I had to go see my doctor to have some test done and my doctor is about 2 hours out the way and I had to fast so I was starving. Well on my way back I stopped at Jimmy John's and ordered the unwhich, talk about like I got in about 3 good bites. I am so thankful for Jimmy John's for having something I could actually enjoy eating the rest will be dinner😁

      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.
