I had RNY and couldn't eat lettuce and such for quite a while. You may want to back off salad temporarily? You'll eventually be able to but it's early days yet and your body is still healing. They don't call it "roughage" for nothing!

If you are cleared for raw vegetables especially leafy greens, try pre chopping them in addition to chewing extremely well.
I wasn't cleared bt my team to have salads for 6 months. I think thays long by moay standards. I started with spinach then wilted kale as the bases. The additions were mostly legumes ans Protein sources which i ate first anyway.
Go slowly and let us know !
