When did everyone start eating salad? Is it hard to digest?I love mixed greens w/oil&ving. & crumbled blu cheese or feta. Just wanting to know if anyone has had an adverse reaction???

Pat, that is a good thing!! LOL

So those who can eat salads, esp those of you that say "big" salads...how big is big? I know leafy greens look big in the bowl,but when chewed they are reduced to very little. What is the average salad size?

And heather...Why can't you eat tomatoes? Is it the acid? Do they get stuck or what? It would suck to give up my tomatoes.

Hi all,i have just had a 4.5ml fill but have not tried salads yet, but before i finely shred the lettuce and chop the cucumber and tomatoes chop into small pieces and grate cheese carrots etc all in a bowl before i put it on my plate then i dont have to waste time or forget to eat smaller pieces as it is already done,

I have not been banded yet, but wanted to say that I have been reading books about nutrition. If you are going to eat salads, try to stick to spinach, Romaine, and baby greens. Iceberg has almost no nutritional value.

This May Be Crazy, 15 Months Out And Im Still Afraid To Eat Salad...a Friend Of Mine Had Eaten Some And Had To Get Unfilled Caused It Didnt Go Down, I Guess She Didnt Chew Good...so Now That Frightens Me!!!

I second you on this.

The greenier the leaf - the better it is for our body(more vit's).

Iceberg is -also- very hard to digest.

At first I had trouble with salads also. I was full very very fast. But now I'm able to eat more of it and I don't get sick from it. And I like to add lots of cheese and meat to them.

Ok can I say PAINFUL omg I tried to eat a salad last week and I was in pain for what seemed like an eternity. I have only been banded for 2 months so maybe I'll try to eat a salad in a year or so.
