Today, my hubby and I went out for lunch while doing our Saturday errands. I ordered fish tacos, with grilled cod. Fish tacos are one of my "go to" foods when eating out because I get my protein and the slaw goes down fine every time! Why? I want to eat salads, but regular salad greens are not compatible with MY band. I don't eat the tortillas, so basically I get my 4 oz fish with slaw and a couple of chips.

Soft tortillas don't work for me but when I order fish tacos I ask if they have corn hard shells instead. They work pretty good.

I order chicken or fish tacos all the time and just have them add refried beans and hold the shell!

I have the same experience, slaw is fine but not garden salad. I guess it's the texture of raw cabbage vs lettuce.

Well, it could be the size of the coleslaw as opposed to the size of the salad greens. But, I stay away from most salad, too. Iceberg lettuce is the worst! It is hard to chew up and it isn't that good for you. If you want to eat salad, try, baby spinach or other greens. Best wishes, Karen

Spinach and other greens have to be chopped and cooked or I can't eat them...I love arugula and other greens, my tummy doesn't.

Oh reading this makes me worry lol

If approved by insurance, my surgery is march 21.

I LOVE salads and fruits (specially watermelon) i wonder how will i feel after banding..

Ugh, lol

Don't get that kind of negative attitude let me tell you girl I thought I couldn't live without hamburgers! Lol. Now occasionally I will take a bite and chew it up an spit it out (cause if I swallow it it won't work) and guess what? Most of the time it doesn't even taste that good anymore! Weird huh? Don't let certain foods make a decision that will effect the rest of your life. A healthy you is worth giving up foods ten million times over! Plus you may be the one that can eat that stuff. I can eat salads. Depends on my tightness of course though. Some can eat breads. I can't. Just varies from person to person.

That was supposed to be for Brazilian girl! Lol

Hahaha thank you!

My nutritionist said the same thing, that some people will hate their favorite food after surgery.

Uh, i guess just time will say lol

It's true, that after a while, just seeing an entire plate of food is a turn off...I have to move what I'm going to eat to a separate plate or its overwhelming.

Slaw with mayo in my opinion would be a slider. Very slick. I would ask to sub beans of some kind.
