I love salad! I am only a month out, I know I can't now.

Just wondering

Has anyone been able to eat salad

Yes, I could eat salad at three months. Had one, it was fine but I'd rather eat meat.

I'm almost 5 weeks and my nut also said 3 months originally. When I had my month post op appt, since I'm tolerating everything they said I could have a salad w baby greens or spinach, because they are so soft. They said to stay away from the harder lettuce for now, so no romain or iceberg.

My surgeon had told me that lettuce (ironically) would go down smoothly, and he was correct. I can eat a whole grilled chicken southwest salad from jack in the box with no problem (without the chips of course).

Yep, salad is very easy to eat. I can get a lot down.

3 months out and I could easily have salad. I have it almost every time (once a week) I have lunch with a friend (we normally go mac donald's, so I get a small salad without high calory sauces). No problems. I really missed it during the first 3 months!

MMMmmmm can't wait for a grilled chicken cearsars salad LOL!

I am able to eat salads without any problems, natural ruffage you know

It all depends on how sensitive your stomach is, me personally, I healed very fast and very well. I am able to tolerate most everything, the only thing I'm still having trouble with is bread. Good luck.

My new smaller stomach doesn't like salad

thanks guys, what about raw veggies??

I'm released for raw veggies at 8 weeks, not that far yet so not sure if it will be ok or not:)
