I don’t eat full salads because I can barely hit my Protein goal. I do like to have lettuce wraps. I use them like taco shells. I like getting both protein and veggies. I Eat homemade green smoothies, homemade garden salsa, and add veggies to my meals (stews, Soups, sauces, etc). I’ll eat a skimmed cucumber with chicken salad anytime.

What is a “skimmed” cucumber? Remove the seeds? If so have you ever tried seedless. I like them because they seem to last longer in the fridge. Still not long enough for just me to finish after WLS because they are bigger but still longer than regular cucumbers.

Does anyone else LOVE chick fila southwest salad? ? I mostly eat the toppings now and toss the lettuce to focus on Protein but I eat eat a bit of the lettuce. At five months out one salad lasts a couple days for lunch and dinner.

Yes, seeded and peeled. I think it’s a local term here lol. Luckily my kids love cucumbers and ranch dressing. I have a garden popping with cucumbers. Maybe I’ll plant some seedless ones next year.

I love cucumber too. When able I used to put a little cream cheese on smoked salmon & wrap it around cucumber wedges for lunch. Was so yummy - except when my tummy decided smoked salmon was too rich. I also used to sprinkle sea salt on cucumber wedges for a snack - very low calorie & high Water content. Plus crunch & salt for the cravings & the salt helps with the low BP. Win, win, win.

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
