We use a salad dressing made by Bolthouse that uses yogurt instead of high fat to create a fully body and good taste. A serving is 45 calories. I like to put even less of a serving on my lunch salad that I eat with my protein. My favorite flavor is their honey mustard, but I think they make all flavors with yogurt from 1000 island to blue cheese. Fat is also low by nature of yogurt. Enjoy and let me know what you think.

Haha see, I've never tried to eat just a salad because I've only just started eating them! I heard so much about them not sitting well that I put it off for a while (5 months) chicken yeah I can eat a couple of ounces if I make it (moist)

But if someone tries to give me a piece of dried out chicken? One bite.

That dressing they are taking about sounds good I might try it

I like Walden Farms dressings and BBQ sauces!! Fat free calorie free gluten free carb free!!! The Italian' date=' balsamic vinegarette and raspberry vinegarette are my faves. I didn't care for the creamy ones like ranch and creamy Italian. They also have different flavored BBQ sauces. I like them all. I marinate my chicken in any of the dressings as well as use it on my salads!![/quote']

Hi where do you find Walden Farms? We have a Natural Grocery, Whole Foods, and a local co-op grocery store here in Boise, ID---is that where I'd find those?

Hi Laura-Ven:

Did you say that 5 months post-op you could eat salad again? I miss it, but I'm only 3 weeks post-op so I know I have a long way to go, just looking forward to the future????????

What veggies do you put in your salads?

I make ranch from packet with canola mayo and skim milk...I just can't use bottled dressings unless it is a vinaigrette.I am not a huge dressing user in the first place so when I use it 1 tablespoon is plenty . Instead of dressing I also like to use a fresh lemon with a little salt sprinkled on my salad .I can only do about 2 oz moist chicken if I am having salad but I still have to wait about 10 mins after I eat my protein to be able to eat salad too:)

The Bolthouse dressings are refrigerated and normally near the salad area

Hi yes at five months I started with salad again but just a little as far as veggies...

I am a all but the kitchen sink kinda girl!

I will do a spring mix of lettuces and put tomatoes, mushrooms, avocados, cucumber, carrots, and cabbage! Or whatever else is laying around

But when I was cleared for all foods (around 6 weeks or so I think) I ate broccoli and cauliflower steamed for just a little bit, no problems.

I have to try these... I have been using Annie's goddess dressing and well it's not good on the numbers but I always bought it because it had no sugars added oh and it tastes awesome

Be sure to cook and chew your veggies enough. I was eating some boiled string beans last night and chewed them, but not enough, i guess. They all came up along with a little steak 20 minutes later. It is possible that they were not cooked enough either. At least my body gives me about a minute warning ("the feeling") before rejecting something so I have time to shuffle over to the bathroom.

Show off! You know I can't puke! I have the gut of steel! How do you know it wasn't that steak??

It very well might have been the steak also because it was a dense cut. I only had those two things and the Beans came up so I blame the beans.

Can't argue that! I would blame the beans too!

Damn veggies

I can't eat anything else if I'm eating chicken. I eat plenty of grilled chicken but can not get down more than 3oz at a time. Its the hardest food for me to eat a decent quantity of and I consider my sleeve to be pretty large. I was told I have a 32f bougie but I can eat a pretty decent amount of certain foods.

Its crazy how much the quantity of what I can consume changes from food to food. I can barely fit in 4-5 bites of chicken but can eat a huge bowl of salad... or two tacos in one sitting lol.

I'm gonna try get a picture posted of the average size salad I eat... A half cup for me would be like 2 big bites right?

Wow. You can eat a big salad but chicken kicks your backside? I'm kinda envious! Well, I would be if I could tolerate more than 2oz of chicken. And what's with the tacos?! I'm Latina and I can't even do a taco!

Don't get mike started on his tacos!

I guess I'm lucky cause I've yet to have anything come back up for a visit. Now that I say that the shrimp I just ate will probably come say hey lol
