When were you able to eat salad?

I am 10 days out from surgery and so I know it will be quite some time before my new tummy can handle salad- but I was just curious to hear from others who enjoy salad when they were able to re-introduce that into their diet.

My plan says not for 6 months!! That is a LONG time.

I have read some have a really hard time with it and it makes them really sick. I am afraid to try it. I have a while as I am only 2 months on Monday!

I'm 11 weeks out and just tried my first bites of salad earlier this week. Aside from not being able to hold much, it went down fine & I didn't get sick at all. I was so relieved because I LOVE salads and was really beginning to miss them greatly!

Good to hear. The NUT at my docs office said to wait at least 3 months. I'll wait it out and then just test the waters in a few months.

I've not been sleeved yet, but I have a very good friend who was sleeved 2 months ago. She recently had a small salad and did great. I have 11 more days until my sleeve

I eat salad...I think I started getting things like grilled chicken salad out at about 6-8 weeks. I eat some chicken first then some salad...tomatoes and cukes...oh and hard boiled eggs sliced up too...then take it home and had 2 more meals out of it...lol.

I'm 9 weeks out and haven't had a full blown salad, but have had bites of lettuce here and there. felt fine.

I have my 5 week checkup a few days ago, and that was one of the questions I asked the nurse. She told me at 6 weeks I can start to eat salads. I know everyone's probably told something different, so, i'd follow what your dr. tells you.

Goodluck!

I frequently have a mini salad to use some leftover meats. Since I'm not having any problem getting in the Protein, I cut the meat down to 2oz and add in about 10g each of some chopped raw spinach, pepper, onion, carrot, avo, Tomato tossed with a bit of dressing and cheese. My system hasn't complained and I'm a bit shy of 2 months out. But then, I haven't had any problems with anything that I have tried yet. Maybe not such a good thing - who knows?
