I love salad, but lately can not get it to pass thru my band. But if I really wanted junk it will go through , to tight or is salad a poor choice?

I can eat everything in salad except the lettuce. Has been a problem since I started on solid foods. I make salads with all the goodies and no lettuce, and have no problems if i chew, chew, chew! I am about 16 months. Several people report problems with salad I have seen,k but mine is just lettuce. It must stick to the side of the pouch or something, not a doc so don't really know. Good luck.

Thank you! I will try making them minus the lettuce, it amazes me how after only a few bites im so stuffed! I should be a skinny Minnie by now!

Unfortunately we don't always get to decide what we want to eat, sometimes the band does! I can eat everything, however, I don't have much restriction yet. Salad may be something that is just no longer part of your regular diet! If other foods go down fine I wouldn't think you are too tight!
