I've never heard the wet lettuce expanding thing before, that's a new one on me. Bread, toast and rice are often thought by some to have that effect, and likewise readily ignored by others to little effect. But this early out you should be taking things slowly and following your doc's advice. Some people do have a problem with lettuce for some reason, even many months out (and, as usual, many others have no problem at all - a big YMMV thing.) I generally use chopped raw spinach rather than lettuce due to its somewhat better nutritional profile, but haven't had any particular problem with lettuce when I have had restaurant salads (I just don't eat much of it since they use it as filler instead of the more expensive and nutritious vegetables and Proteins.) My surgeon said only cooked spinach for now. I just finished my final phase so now I'm on unrestricted, but I still can't have raw fruits and veggies or nuts. don't know when he'll clear me for that. It looks like your surgeon needs to take a chill pill lmao

ohhhhhhh, I guess I'll never eat lettuce again then :/

Why not?

Today was my first time eating salad with chicken after the surgery (Wich was a month and two weeks ago) and I was surprised with how much salad I was able to eat

I'm not doing too good with it tho. I'm consuming just about 500 calories or ma y less and like 50 g of calories. I know I need to do better with my protein Sent from my SM-G925T using the BariatricPal App

Oh, I lasted an extra day because of the liquids but I also feel like they didn't do anything to me either lol and I loveeee my incisions, they are soo small. How much did you weighted prior to the surgery? Sent from my SM-G925T using the BariatricPal App

How are you doing and are you losing fast? Sent from my SM-G925T using the BariatricPal App

Thank you. You're totally right...I've learned my lesson and thank God nothing bad happened. Now I don't even touch any food if I don't see it on the list of stuff that I'm allow to eat lol Sent from my SM-G925T using the BariatricPal App

Thank you, I'll definitely be more careful Sent from my SM-G925T using the BariatricPal App

Maybe I won't grouse about my 6 months of Options classes anymore. They have pounded into our brains ad nauseum regarding "no popcorn, no seeds, no blah blah blah, no yadda yadda yadda!" Been thinking it's been overkill but if you've only seemed to receive a list of approved foods, and not much else? Then I'll try to appreciate my boring classes a whole lot more! Good luck to you and let us know the outcome! So to speak... Sent from my SM-G900V using the BariatricPal App Lol Sent from my SM-G925T using the BariatricPal App
