Do you measure your salads???



Recommended Posts

I love salad too! Before I hit the gym...I go to the A&P (which is right next door) which has an awesome salad bar. I also like the Balsamic Vinegarette or the Raspberry walnut vinegarette which are both low-fat & low in sugar...Ken's makes good ones. I just figure on a tablespoon to measure...chicken slices, chick peas, hard boiled egg crumbles, sunflower seeds, dried cranberries...yummy.

LOL...all my friends think I'm strange because I love salads. I even order a salad at Wendys...even before I got my band! I love salad bars but make an effort not to put croutons & alot of cheese on it. I'm glad to find out that salad is considered a "slider" because I don't have any restriction now since I only have 1cc in my 14cc band.

Cya!

I finally found out how to do it. Click on anyone's ticker and it'll take you to the ticker web site. Then you have to create an account and your ticker. Once you do that- copy and paste the bb code to your signature under your profile. good luck.

I dont know why people consider salad a slider food...It keeps me full for hours....but then I only use good lettuce not iceburg i use a lot of different kinds of Beans I add chicken and egg, Tomato, carrots, avacado....so for me it's not a slider and i never get stuck on salad...

haha but it doesn't taste that great. I just can think of better things to eat than a salad. Also be extremely careful if you eat a salad at a restaurant. They can have 2,000 calories.

Well luckily ive had good luck eating salads , and i love them . My Portion Control is about a cup max....im restricted good.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
