Salad

Is salad a slider food for you?

[AJP 132]

Seems to be. I can definitely eat more of it if it's on lettuce. Today was weird though. Had me in the bathroom 30 min after eating

[FluffyChix 17,410]

Yes. I can eat close to 2 cups of it maybe including Protein? Maybe a little more.

I only had a few bites and I felt so bloated, for a few hours. I will wait to try it again. It’s really sad because I’ve been craving salad 😔

[jultrim18 132]

Yes! I definitely can eat more salad than Soups or chicken. I love salad!

This blows my mind! I can only eat about 3 or 4 bites of salad, so I've stayed away from them unless I'm really craving salad.

I’m so craving salad. I think it’s the crunch I miss.

salad condenses and slides down easily. I can eat a regular sized plate. I make them low calorie. No weight gain.

I can down a couple cups with about 2 ounces of Protein. anything more is too much

This is blowing my mind too because I'm 11 months post op and still can only eat a few bites of salad. I kept trying to eat a salad for lunch at work and I finally just accepted my stomach prefers straight Protein instead. So I'm the goofball in the salad bar line filling a bowl with chicken breast chunks, diced ham, hardboiled egg, and a pinch of dressing

Oh see? This is a relief! Good info TY! I also make them super low cal/low glycemic index and load. Love them!!!!

Depends on the salad. If it's mostly lettuce and other leafy goodness, it compresses down to nothing when chewed while something loaded down with mushrooms, Beans, broccoli and other more dense, fibrous vegetables it can keep me going for a good while.

Tuesday Tomkitten asked my dietician Roy "When can MOM eat salads with me again? " Roy just gave a rueful laugh and said Not Soon, Not Soon!

@S@ssen@ch I tried salad again today and was able to eat almost 1/2 of a side garden salad (just lettuce and a few cherry tomatoes) at wendys. But I DO have restriction and felt really full.

Thanks @wanda247! I'm sure I'll eventually get there, but right now it feels like the salad fills me up and takes away room from my Protein.
