Hi all-

I was banded on April 27th and have lost a total of 40 lbs. so far. But I am missing salad so much. I can eat carrots and snap peas now but I miss more veggies in my diet. My regularity also misses salad in my diet....lol.

When did everyone re-introduce salads into their diets?

Thanks

After about 6 months of being in perfect green zone, I have salads for lunch but I need to eat it with croutons. Somehow the "slider" nature of it helps me process it well. It's not a ton of calories so I really think its fine with a salad with protein in small portions. I used to need a bucket of salad to feel full. Now I can eat like half a salad bar small salad.

I'm only 3 months out and have a spinach salad about every other day with no problem.

I have not tired salads yet but I can eat various raw veggies like: zuchini, carrots, and raw fruits like apples. I too miss salad but i'm affraid of getting stuck.

Get your protein first and then have the salad!

im three months post op and im having salads with fresh dill.. yummmm.. im not sure if i could have managed beforehand... i just didnt feel ready to have any then.

I could eat salads almost from when i started solid food, but i still cant eat carrots .. i chop up my salad well tho. If u can eat solids and carrots why wouldnt u try some salad ?

I've been eating salads from day 30 on. No problem for me. I think once I shoveled too much in my piehole and got stuck for a while but other than that it's been great. And, I liked salads before but I love them now.

Start with crunchy stuff. Sometimes limp foods can lay over your stoma and block food from passing through. You don't want to have a stuck episode.

The last time I had a salad, I ordered a 1/2 chicken salad from Wendy's. I ate 1/2 of it, so it was actually a 1/4 salad. It was okay, but I am like the other person who said they needed to eat it with croutons. I used to eat about 1/4 taco salad from taco bell, but can't do that anymore. Note to others, salads are easier to eat if you stay away from iceberg lettuce. Best wishes to all salad eaters! Karen

Oh so true

I make salads with spinach and don't seem to have a problem.
