Yes, Doc Gave Go Ahead On Salads.



Recommended Posts

Well saw the Doc Friday and received the news on my pre op diet. I have to do 3 weeks on the liver shrink diet. Man that will be hard. I did do a liquid only boot camp diet this month just to do a body cleanse. Lost 15 lbs. and feel much better. Anyways I thought the 3 weeks would be liquids only and it was going to be extreme but my Doc came through and said I could have lettuce, radishes, celery and such also. So, viola! A salad and This will be my filler and help out greatly.

this all sounds great. having done all liquids, now you can have a few things to make a nice salad

i hadn't had a salad til recently - measured 1/3 cup of lettuce, then 1/3 cup of other "goodies"

NUT kindof laughed and told me i don't need to measure the lettuce since it is mainly wather. did i feel silly, of course count the calories for the "extras in the salad :rolleyes:

back to you - ;)

congrats on losing those 15 lbs prior to WLS

luck to you

kathy

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

      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! 😞
