Had my first salad

I ate about half of a wendys side salad. No cucumbers, tomatoes or carrot..but i ate the lettuce with ranch dressing. IT was sooo good..but omg the gas. I thought I was in heaven

Deb...the lettuce is empty calories...try a cobb salad with chicken, bacon bits, eggs and all the protein things with a light ranch dressing.... Dennis

Dennis this is a very good suggestion but i wanted to try the lettuce first...i also havent tried bacon so if i get sick i wanna know what made me sick yanno? i promise to have the goodies next time

Deb, I am glad you posted this. I have been dying to have a salad, but have been to scared to try to eat it. I may stop and get one tonight!!! Thanks for the info, Erin

I just got back from lunch and had a very very small chicken taco salad and did not fini**** The taco salad was so good!!!!! So far I have not had any trouble with salad. Misty

Hi Deb, I had my first one Sunday! Made a small one at a salad bar & put turkey, ham, cheese, sunflower seeds, eggs & anything else that looked like protein!! LOL I tried before but dumped really bad. I think it was the Ranch dressing though, because I tried some on some chicken & did the same thing! Gina

Yikes Gina..I put ranch on everything cuz it helps it go down easier. Maybe try another dressing. My only suggestion is chew the crap out of it

Deb i went to koger and fixed me a salad last week,it had bacon,chicken ham,cheese,cucumber,olives,eggs,greenpepper,onion,and just a little lettuce........my doc told me yesterday that lettuce was pure water. So he said make one with alot of protein so i did............i love salad.....vickie r.

Hi Deb, I've been eating salads for over a month now without problems. I haven't bothered trying iceberg lettuce, really. Maybe that's what gave you gas. At salad bars, I don't even get any lettuce. I get tomatoes and egg and cheese and ham and turkey and cukes and peppers and onions. You get the picture. I also put nuts and stuff on top and then some FF dressing. Salads taste SO good lately. I really was craving it. Now I have salad a few times a week either for lunch or dinner. It's a good idea to only add one new food in at a time; so you're on the right track. Personally, I'd keep the greenery to a minimum, though, and concentrate on having a protein salad. Enjoy! Cheryl

I JUST HAD MY 1st SALAD THIS EVENING, MS DEB ... CHICKEN WITH ALL SORTS OF VEGES & HONEY MUSTARD DRESSING ON THE SIDE (JUST DIPPED IN IT SLIGHTLY). I WAS SOOOOOOO AFRAID OF SALADS BUT I DIDN'T HAVE ANY PROBLEM ... DIFFERENT KINDS OF LETTUCE, CARROT SLIVERS, TOMATOES, RED ONIONS, CHEESE, BACON BITS, CHICKEN ... IT WAS SOOOOOO GOOD!
