When can we eat salad I'm dying for a chicken salad

I was wondering that too. I am still terrified to try any raw veggies or fruits. I am 6 weeks out.

Most doctors say no salads until after 12 weeks post op.

I've been eating steamed veggies since about 3 months out, raw veggies too, and at 5 months out started eating wonderful raw salad greens, with zero issues. I probably could have been eating all of those things at 3 months out but they weren't available to me.

I am 7 1/2 weeks out and I ate raw califlower and carrots with no problem and of course steamed veggies of all sorts! I haven't tried salad and don't really want to yet since I still have to really chew everything up good and I don't want mushy salad in my mouth! LOL

3 months for raw veggies/fruit with the exception of melons.

i dont get it...why do we have to wait so long to eat something thats good for us? i cant eat mashed up bananas on mushie or throw some red peppers in my magic bullet with eggs and cheese to whirl up an omelet? is it a person to person case (eg; if you eat it and your body is fine its ok for you?) Is there a list somewhere with guidelines of when you can eat what? i never got that from my surgeon...

At 4 weeks I put onions in with my egg in the bullet and then baked them into fratatas with zero issues. I talked to my NUT and she said I was clear for iceburg lettuce at 6 weeks.
