I love a good salad as well and have done find with them. I have not had a fill yet, so I really havent had a problem with anything yet. If you are worried about the calories , my Dr suggest the dressings that you spray on.

My question is how many fills did it take you to obtain that kind of restriction. I got banded in Aug. and have not been filled yet. I find myself eating more than what i was told i would be able to eat. I haven't felt much restriction and havent gotten sick at all. I am not even having to take small bites and eat slow. I am almost afraid that I have stretched my pouch. I had to reschedule my fill and cant get it done until Nov. 1st. I'm afraid I'm going to regain all the weight I have lost by then. I agree with the mental hurdles, right now the main one for me is will I suceed at this.
