CLEARED FOR SALAD!



Recommended Posts

OMG!!!!!!!! I JUST ATE salad FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MONTHS!!!!! IT WAS GLORIOUS!!!!!!!! Ohhhh thank you God! I have missed it sooooo much!!!!

So do you eat it alone as a meal or do you pair it always with something? Mine tonight was a chef salad, so it had Protein in it as far as meat protein. My dressing was balsamic vinegar and light olive oil.

I have salad almost every day for lunch always with Protein. Today I had a tablespoon of Trader Joe's tzatziki sauce (creamy and delicious with only 1 gram fat, 1 gram carb and 15 calories), and pork loin. It was so yummy and filling. Other Proteins I often have are chicken breast, taco meat (made with low fat ground turkey) or Gorton's grilled tilapia. I love my daily salad.

I remember the first salad I had, it was decadent! Though I no longer eat lettuce salad. I only have so much room and lettuce has no real nutritional value. Almost all my salads are kale now. Make it and eat it the next day after it has softened.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
