I've been craving a nice healthy salad, but have not been brave enough to try and eat one. Just curious on everyone's experience with salads??? I'm 5 1/2 months post op with 10.3 cc's in a 14cc band.

Salads are fine, I just need to take my time, and if something won't chew down to a fine consistency, I just discreetly take it out of my mouth. On occasion tomato skins and snow pea sprouts can be hard for my teeth to cut through.

I've been loving a hard boiled egg with baby spinach , alfalfa, bean shoots, cucumber, avocado and some Dijon mustard and lemon juice, easy to throw together in a few minutes.

I often don't even use lettuce as a base given I end up not using it quick enough. iCabbage I've enjoyed a lot more post band, I find it is crunchy to the bite, lasts for ages and great in Soups, stir fry's and finely sliced and tossed with some Tuna or salmon with mayo on crackers
