How long before you ate subway or Jamba juice..

[VSGAnn2014 12,992]

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!!!

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>
