I love salad. I know we are supposed to get our Protein in first, then veggies and fruits, then carbs, but I'm wondering how many of you get a chance to eat a nice veggie salad with protein added. Is it tolerable or does it not go down well? I dont see it mentioned much.

I have one couple times a week. I have no problem with it. I use kale & spinach with grilled chicken. Sometimes i add quinoa to it and low fat cheesw.

5 months out and have just started eating my Protein on a bed of spinach with a few carrots and sunflower seeds. I still measure everything out to equal 3.5 ounces. I LOVE salads and this has helped a lot. I eat it everyday for lunch now.

Well, I'm three years out so I eat a lot of salads as well as lots of Protein. I think I was about three months out when I started eating salad.< br>

I eat Cobb salads all the time. My hubby and I share one. I always make sure I get my Protein in before I fill up on lettuce. I love lettuce wraps. I'm almost 6 months out.

salad with Protein is my favourite lunch. I'm 4 months out and know how much I can eat at a sitting, so I measure out my protein and veggies and eat them together.

      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.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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!
