Hi Linda - here is the Salad Queen
I do have very good restriction until the evening, this is the time when my band is somehow getting loose
No matter how creative I get, fixing my salad (mostly Spinach or Iceberg with fresh mushrooms, cucumbers and peppers, beans, feta cheese etc.) I could eat probably a "normal" sized portion or even more. I always have my chicken/protein first but still, it doesn't keep me full for more than maybe 2-3 hrs. before I get kind of hungry again. That's because the salad is going down easier/quicker than the more solid foods.
But .... since being banded I am addicted to salad and I just have to have it
