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

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!

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

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.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
