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.

      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!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
