Veteran question about salads

[Escape_Pod 358]

I have a salad for lunch many days, but the salad bar downstairs has a lot of other temptations, and I tend to end up overeating if I'm not careful. Need to go back to bringing my own ingredients for salads until I can nip that in the bud!

Now that the weather's warming up, I also make a "gazpacho salad" - this will sound strange, but the base is sf lemon Jello and v-8 juice and a little vinegar, with a lot of finely chopped veggies mixed in - cucumber, bell peppers, tomatoes, celery... Makes a tasty combo with some lunch meat rollups!

Puja, I agree. Pre-op I was the queen of the sweet / salty combo. It's amazing how much sweet stuff I could down without my taste buds losing interest if I alternated with salty food. I hadn't thought about it much post-op, but I suspect avoiding too much variety at a meal might help keep me from overdoing it. Something to think on...
