I was actually craving a salad this weekend but was to chicken to try it! Maybe I will try one tonight! I am 7 weeks post op and have lost 39lbs! Take care and keep up the good work! 275/236

WAY TO GO ALISHA KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK, I THINK I WILL TRY A SALAD ALSO, THANKS JULIE

I have been having the salad since I went on regular foods and i am fine. I usually have it on taco night and make a very small taco salad for myself. Of ocurse the meal rule is eat ur protein, then ur veggie...and usually we all know we fill up first. BUT i eat a little bit taco meat and refried beans on the lettuce ...dash of lo fat sourcream and im fine! GOOD LUCK LISA

HI LISA, THE TACO SALAD SOUNDS SO GOOD AND A GOOD WAY TO GET PROTEIN IN, THANKS JULIE

What are you guys putting on your taco salads?

Hi Julie, I am about 8 weeks post op. I was told to wait till 10 weeks for raw veggies so I steam them for now. I am really craving salad though so if you try it, let us that havent tried it know. Lettuce with taco meat also sounds really good. yummmm.. I only weigh once a week, but so far I have lost 40 lbs. Hopefully more tomorrow when I weigh..

HELLO CARLA, I'M SO PROUD OF YOUR WEIGHT LOSS I WILL LET YA'LL KNOW IF I EAT ONE AND HOW IT GOES, HAVE A GREAT DAY JULIE
