Im about 3.5 months post op Im wondering if I should try some raw veggies. I have been getting so bored with my other options lately, veggies would really spruce it up. Im just so nervous to try anything new. My day seriously consists of Protein drinks, string cheese, and popsicles. Im gunna buy carrots tomorrow, im so nervous LoL

I wouldn't try carrots but that's just me. They have a ton of sugar and are not the easiest to digest. Cooked the texture is better but there is more sugar.

I'm 3 months post surgery and doing well with the salads, i think i was about 7-8 weeks when i started, yest. i had a mixed salad called "Modena" and noticed that both days i got sharp shooting pain in my stomach and felt very bloated after having it but I think it was because the salad has green peppers and purple cabbage chopped up, so maybe those 2 things made me bloated ? Not sure I will see my doctor tomorrow 12/13/12 and will mention that to him.

Good luck !!

My surgeon cleared me to start introducing salad back in at around the 10th week.

I made one using spinach, which I tore into super small pieces. I added in some feta cheese, 1-2 chopped grape tomatoes, 2-3 crumbled pecans, a little fresh avocado and some fat free raspberry vinegarette. It was the tiniest salad I had ever seen. It was almost comical.

It was SO delicious. I ate it very, very slowly along with some chicken. What was unbelievable to me was how full I got so quickly. I couldn't even finish my tiny salad. I had enough left over for lunch the next day. My stomach handled it just fine.

That was about a week and a half ago. Tonight I came in from traveling across state and was starving. I made another tiny salad with spinach, about 1.5oz chicken, 2 grape tomatoes, 2 chopped pecans and feta. I also added 3 pods of sugar snap peas and 2 pickled okra. I didn't even finish half of it and my stomach told me that I had overeaten. Now I'm uncomfortable. I noticed that this time I ate a lot faster, so I wasn't taking time to pay attention to my stomach's signals. It wasn't the salad itself, it was me rushing. No throwing up, though. Just feeling like a stuffed, bellyaching puppy.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
