I had the tuna salad scraped out of a 6-inch Subway l

Last week. It was pretty gross. Very bitter tasting.

No Jamba juice yet. Not my thing though.

Now, Wendy's chili is more my speed.

Also really like Ruby Tuesday's Smoky Mountain Chicken; Hickory Bourbon Salmon; chicken Bella -- stuff like that off their Fit and Trim menu, although I can have only about 1/3 of each entree at a single meal. I also LOVE their spaghetti squash, although a bite or two is all I can handle right now.

Only 2 months out so no way I could eat a subway any time soon. I hardly eat any bread, I do not even try really , just nibbles of toast here and there. I make my own smoothies at home and can make them thicker or runnier as needed. If I am having them as food then they are thicker if I am having them as a drink I add more Water. You can aso control the calories and sugar. Check the nutritional information you will be surprised at the calories on some smoothies/ juices, not worth is for me.

Where I live there isn't a jamba juice, but we have Whole Foods which has a smoothie/juice bar. I had a juice at about 2 weeks and it was the first thing I could actually drink the entire cup of. I felt like a million bucks after drinking all of that nutrition without puking!

I think I had Subway about 2 months after surgery and even now at 13 months post-op, I can only have maybe 1/3 of a 6inch or 1/4 of a salad.

I have to admit subway is definitely an option for me because it's close to my job, but I don't get the sandwich, I get a salad. Since you can make any sandwich into a salad it works out perfectly! I haven't had a sandwich since I was a month pre-op. Have to admit it's tempting sometimes, but I've managed. I did have a jamba juice maybe 4 months ago, a high Protein something. I couldn't finish it. It started to make me sick.

I make my own at home most times. They have a frozen berry blend at costco, I add some OJ, and Water with some Protein. Tastes great!!!

How long before you ate subway or Jamba juice..

No Subway yet (I'm two months out). Not a Jamba juice person before this but my doctor said to kiss drinks like that goodbye because of their high carb/sugar content. Not supposed to have juice either of any form for the rest of my life due to the same thing.

But everyone's doctor is different, so you may not have the same restrictions.

I prefer Firehouse Subs & I've been once about a month ago. I never eat bread (carbs) so I had them just give me the meat. Pretty expensive for what you get. We have Jamba juice here but I've never been there. I do my own smoothies at home. I can control what goes in them this way. I still drink 1 Protein Drink per day & will for the rest of my life. I vary my Protein Drinks between Premier Protein, Unjury & nectar.< /p>

      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.
