Help-I have a q and how r u guys that r 3 months out?

I will be 3 months out tommorow and I can eat a whole McDonalds fiesta salad. Is this bad?Am I eating too much?I dont use the sour cream or salsa that they give me.I do not eat the tortilla strips that are put on the salad either.

The standard disclaimer: every surgeon is different and will have different requirements and diets. Your surgeon and dietician are the best judges for this. I'm on a modified version of my dieticians' plan. Since I'm still not hungry at 3 months out, they're permitting me to stay on a measured 2 ounces per meal and 1 ounce of fruit sometime during the day. It works for me, but not everyone is on that sort of plan (even most of the people in my support group). When I spoke to my dietician last week, they mentioned that I was approved for salad, if I was desperate, and that I could probably eat more than 2 ounces since lettuce contains a lot of water. As for the rest of it...the ground beef is completely out under my plan until after a year. I also had to sign a pledge not to set foot nor tire in a fast food restaurant for a year. That's not as a judgment, I'm just saying I don't know what's in a Fiesta Salad other than the lettuce and cheese. So, I'd recommend you ask your support team if it's all right. You can eat more lettuce than you'd think, but other than that, I'm not sure what your plan is. Eric C.

I have no problem eating tons of salad, about 2-3 cups! I was nervous in the beginning, but the nutrionist said it consists mostly of water and the salad dressing helps it slide down easier and as long as I'm full, I'm fine. I use fat free dressing and usually add chicken or shrimp and have it for a dinner meal. I even crave salads at this point. Good luck, Wendy 275/218/150

I have bought these same salads and i can only eat about 1/4 of it if that much. But everyone is different.

I was able to eat between 1/2 and 3/4 of the salad but I ate the tortilla strips and sour cream and salsa. I think eating a whole salad is fine - just my opinion and you know what they say about opinions. -Sherrie (-81)
