Before VSG, I enjoyed the Mandaran chicken salad. I have not been back to Wendy's in a very long time (over a year), except to have a cup of chili from time to time. Today, I decided to try their berry salad. Sorry, no picture. I got an error when trying to upload about file permissions. The good part of this salad is that the dressing only has 50 calories, but is yummy raspberry balsamic vinegar. You might like this as a post op if you can manage salads ok.

I buy spinach too (well pre sleeve) and if it is getting too close to expiration date I just cook it lol

Fiddleman: what is sliming?

Fiddleman: what is sliming?

Sliming is when you eat too much or too fast and you literally slime in your mouth with a thick mucous saliva. Kind of gross and uncomfortable. Not everyone experiences it, but when you do, you will know. I lost count of my own sliming it happened so often. I did not have trouble with eating too much, but often ate too fast especially during month 2 and 6. It is not a problem any longer nor has it really been a problem since month 5.

Thanks Fiddleman!

I was sleeved 4-23 and have salad twice a week with no issue. I get it with grilled ckn. Just remember to chew chew chew

axd, how much salad can you handle for a meal? do you make them yourself or buy them ready-made?

I buy it from a pizza place down the street from work. The make the best grilled ckn salads. It lasts me 3 days but on the 3rd day I usually chuck it. I would guess about a little over a cup. Some times around 3 ill pick at the chicken or the next day when I get to work and get hungry ill pick. I'm not big on Breakfast

I pretty much try anything and see what I can handle. I stay away from bread and rice. Last night hubs got a pizza and I just ate the topping. Didn't feel 100% after eating it but it was low carbs and stayed down. I follow low carbs and when it's low carb and low calorie it's a bonus. 32 lbs down since pre surgery diet

fiddleman' date=' remind me...about when can I try eating a salad with lettuce? I am one-month out today and am still a little scared to try raw veggies of any type[/quote']

I started eating salads as soon as I was cleared for regular foods at about 8-10 weeks. I started slow with soft lettuce like butter lettuce. I was fine. As the adage goes, everyone is different.
