ncdeking 18 Posted May 16, 2013 Woohoo! Celebrating a 6.5 lb loss this week after gaining 2.5 week before last and losing only 1.5 last week. Effects of Dr. adjusting my bp meds seems to have worn off and "Aunt Flow's" visit probably helped alot too! 2 babs963 and Tinas626 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sassy14 178 Posted May 16, 2013 My salads are typically baby spinach or mixed greens' date=' I've included cucumber, carrots, celery, radish, avocado, and olives at various points with no issue with any. (I can only eat a few baby carrots and I'm stuffed but with shredded carrots on a salad I'm fine). I usually top with turkey, egg white, and cheese so it's a full meal and I've been using Newmans Own light dressings, I have a couple different favors. They're around 45 calories for 2 tablespoons but I don't need 2 tablespoons . No tummy issues at all with the salads and Fiber is my friend! Good luck. I'd start small with just a few bites of a single veg and see how you do! HW 312, pre-op (RNY) 255, current weight 217.2[/quote'] I love baby greens and usually add in cherry tomatoes and chopped cucumber. I use a little oil and a splash of lemon. I put an egg and cottage cheese on top and it's so good. Today I added some tiny pieces of steak. (I used well trimmed rib eye because it is very tender). It was delicious. Just chew really well and you should be fine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cecilia 201 Posted May 17, 2013 As for salads I'm just doing organic baby spring mixed greens and lite dressing. As a snack, it's very filling, and only like 45 calories. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

For the past 4 days I've been logging every bite into my mouth, eating mostly Protein, staying under 1000 calories a day, and lost 0.6 pounds. It's not much, but it's better than gaining. 1 celebrate*me reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gerrykayred 13 Posted May 20, 2013 My baby tummy loves salad. Mixed greens with balsamic vinagrette. Shrimp, cucumber, boiled eggs!! I'm so excited. I'm also loving hummus. Anyone else enjoying that? And, I've been carrying those 100 calorie packs of almonds. They are helping me when I'm out and about and need something quick. Those packs are a good size for a snack.< /p> My surgery date was February 14, I had RNY and I'm down 83 pounds!!! 1 babs963 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
