I'm Addicted...to Salad! Lol!



Recommended Posts

I will be 12 weeks out in 2 days, and every since I was 8 weeks out & my surgeon told me to go for it, I can't get enough salad! I crave it constantly! I make sure that I have LOTS of high Protein toppings & red onions and I chow down! Since my surgery, I switched to mostly tender greens & baby spinach, but I also eat some iceberg, with no problems. My tastes have changed drastically since I was sleeved & I'm just happy that my two favorites are still good to me: salad & sushi! It takes me several days to eat a meal sized salad, so I use fat free dressing on the side. An order of sushi rolls typically takes me 2 1/2 days to finish also. I don't mind because I love leftovers. I bought a grilled chicken & baby salad from Subway (mistake); and I was PO'd that I paid $6.50 for chicken breast I couldn't even find! So I came home & dumped a 5 oz can of boneless salmon on it & voila! Good eating for the weekend! 

Good for you! salad didn't agree with me until pretty recently so now I'm beginning to enjoy it again. I love sushi and usually get 2 rolls (8 pieces each). That makes 3 to 4 meals/ Snacks for me. Good luck!

I can't wait to get another salad. I was just sleeved on the 14th, so I will have to wait. Enjoy them for me.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
