Video- Cucumber Tomato Salad

After weight-loss surgery, it’s important to focus on protein at every meal. But what about your veggies? While you absolutely want protein to be 50-70% of your meal, don’t forget to keep fun flavors in your side dishes! This helps keep excitement in your diet while you enjoy new flavors and textures. Vegetables also provide vitamins, minerals and fiber to your diet.

Many patients of mine struggle with liking veggies. They just never have. I challenge them to try new things and keep it fresh when possible for the best tasting results. I think you’ll really enjoy this refreshing Cucumber Tomato Salad!
