At salad tomorrow , sounds crazy but I'm nervous any tip would be great also are high fibre cracker ok ? I m desperate for something crunchy

I am still pre-op but my doctor and several people with the band tell me the key to eating any food is to take small bites and chew, chew, chew! Good luck, you can do it!

How far out of surgery are you?

Go for crunchy lettuce like iceberg rather than soft and leafy. I find crunchy goes down much more easily.

Four weeks and by my doctors time line I started full solids Friday

You might be too early for salad. I can't tolerate most lettuce, especially iceberg, as opposed to Sashawls. So, go slowly, and try it. Best wishes, Karen

I was thinking I might be a little early as well but everything I seem to eat is a soft choice, I am kind of at a loss to what veggies I should be trying I eat a lot of chicken and fish but my food choices so far are pretty boring, the last think I want is a stuck episode this early on

I think it is to early for salad. If you really want it though take very small bites and chew it to death. As for crunchy stuff. Chew ice. . Tall glass of ice water goes a long way for me.
