So Pissed Off At Subway!



Recommended Posts

So I eat a lot of Subway salads. I'm there multiple times a week. I loved their salads because with my sleeve they lasted 2-3 days. Not anymore! Went there today and they changed them. They have a new bowl size that is more than half smaller than the original one. Of course the price has remained the same. So what lasted me 2-3 days now is the size of one meal for a sleeved individual. Frustrated. This may be the first time that I actually contact a company to complain. What, is lettuce so freaking expensive now that they have to cut back?

I used to get Subway salads because they were giant and lasted days. I found it annoying that they count out exactly 4 pieces of turkey, but oh well. If they changed their size to much smaller, I would not be ordering it anymore either.

Aldi has bagged garden salads for under $1 (just had a sale on them for 69¢). I buy a few of them, make up my own salad and could throw them in a insulated lunch bag to take on the road/work. Even with cheese, Protein (shrimp or chicken) and dressing and things like avocado (also cheap at Aldi - regular avocados go for 29¢), I am spending about $5 for days of salads that are way tastier than someplace like Subway.

And it takes me about 15 minutes to prep several salads and throw the containers in the fridge to pull out as needed. I'll be it takes longer to drive to the fast food joints and wait in line every day. ;)

Even regular grocery stores have decent sales on salads (if you don't have an Aldi near you). I used to buy the kits, but they're high in fat and carbs sometimes, so I just buy the greens and add-ins separately.

I actually do that too. I buy the bagged greens at Walmart and then add grilled chicken or tuna, sometimes salmon. It's just that I do love the Subway salads with chipoltle dressing and it just pisses me of that they did this.

I get the salads from Chick Fil A that have the apple, strawberry, blueberry, nuts, and grilled chicken. SO good and it lasts 2-3 meals. I'm about 11 months post op.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
