I wasn't allowed to have salad until I was 5 to 6 months out.

I did miss it, but I don't eat very much of it. Doesn't always sit

Very well.

Ate some salad this week (6 weeks out) after my Protein and it went down fine and stayed. I had baby spinach and a mix of other baby lettuces with some cherry Tomato and small amount of avocado. :)

salad is my fave!!! BUT all the salads I can buy use iceberg & I really want something different...my fave sushi bar and US pizza both have awesome salads, alas...with iceberg. I guess I have to make my own salad, but I prefer to just buy it.

I just hit my 1 month mark, and I got a salad the other day. I mainly got it for the Turkey and hard boiled egg, but I put some light dressing on and ate some lettuce, cuke, and bell pepper too. It sat fine, no problems.

I'm only 2 weeks out and I am craving cucumbers and tomatoes, what's weird is I have never been a Tomato eater. Now that's all I can concentrate on. I see my Dr Tuesday and I'm planning on asking for a rush on the next step to vegs. I have a trip planned for next weekend to South Lousianna so I hope I can have some crawfish while I'm there. Everything I've tried so far has been tolerated.

I told my surgeon up front that I am a sushi & salad addict, he informed me that sushi is considered the same as salad because of all the fresh veggies, and that I could have it at 6 weeks if I felt comfy with it. I waited until today, I'll be 8 weeks Monday! The sushi chef at my Kroger made me Spring Rolls with Shrimp & he wrapped them in rice paper because I wasn't sure about eating sticky rice...OMG! Great!!! I love them & they are only 190 calories per roll! Whoop! Whoop! They went down great! :)

I can start adding salad in starting Tuesday. I have been craving the seared ahi salad from cheese cake factory. I too have been longing for salad since week 2 but have followed my plan. I don't meet with my NUT until I'm six weeks out. Have my first post surgery followup this Thursday. I hope to God that the scale will start moving again. Have been in the dreaded third week stall.

I really get filled up quick, if I eat sushi. It is the rice. I can have maybe two to three slices.

I wanted to add one more thing abt salad: instead of adding a ton of veggies try to add Protein rich toppings. I add some 2% shredded cheese, sliced almonds, avocado & hard boiled eggs & a lean meat. This usually means I only eat a small bite of greens with each bite but this way you are bulking up your protein intake as opposed to filling up w/ veggies to quickly. Just my 2 cents worth ;)

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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?
