Hi everyone,
Im almost 3 months in and have a hard time with heavy foods but am finding that With salads and soups they go down really well! I was just wondering if I was to eat a subway salad,is it really bad to eat the whole thing at one sitting?

I'm just over 3 months out and also re-discovering salads.  I'm not sure how big a Subway salad is, but as long as you're getting your protein in first, and using a minimal amount of salad dressing, you should be fine to eat as much of it as you want!

Thankyou so much because I was worried I was eating too much and don't want to stretch my pouch!

You will probably find a whole subway salad too filling.  I am able to do the half size Wendy's salad with chicken.  Soup is a liquid and salad liquefies quite well.  It is the protein that you eat first (like chicken) that limits the amount of salad you can have afterwards.

I ate a Subway salad not too long ago (I am 5 months out) and got the cold cut trio.  I made sure I ate the meat with veggies first, then worked on the lettuce part.  I definetly couldn't eat it all.

You can eat 2-3 cups of salad. When you chew it up it is not much. As the others have said make sure you put protein on it. Chicken or tuna. Need to watch the fats

I'm 2 yrs out ... I order the small baja salad fr Wendy's and can't finish the whole thing. I make sure to eat the chili first and forage around what's left of the salad.
