salad is a slider for me. With or without dressing. I know others have said the same.

Just because it is a slider food for you it is not for everyone. I still have to eat salads slowly or they will get stuck. This is a great way for people to get in their vegetables. There are no vegetables that are bad for you even if you consider them sliders.

I am not able to eat salad at all. No matter how much I chew, it just doesn't work out well for me.

I ran across this site the other day and it reminded me of what cheryl2586 posted here, now mind you we can't eat all the stuff that they suggest on the site, but there is some really good ideas like the salad one: http://thedecoratedcookie.com/2010/10/a-mason-jar-meal-my-6th-pfb-challenge/

Here is a trick to eating salad everyday for lunch. Make a few jars on Sunday night and just grab one to bring to work every day. When you're ready to eat' date=' just shake it up. The key is to make sure the dressing and the Leafy greens don't touch.[/quote']

That looks good and its a great idea. What's in it.

Why couscous

Couscous is the only Pasta that is packed with Protein. Makes a great addition to any salad.< /p>

One more question too... Do you weigh the vegetables as you put them into the jar for Portion Control?

I would measure a cup and that is it.

What kind of dressing do you put in the jar? I love this idea! Thank you for sharing it!

I do not use fat free anything but if you want fat free that is okay too.

      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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
