I miss eating salads soooo much! When is it okay to try lettuce?

I keep seeing 12 weeks out is the earliest but i had tuna wraps with romaine lettuce but I had cut the hard vein out at 10 weeks and did fine

I think after 3 months they told me too. I miss the stuff on the salad like the tomatoes and cucumbers!!!

I'm almost 5 months out, and tried it two days in a row. Got sick both times, even though I can eat any other veg. I don't care if I ever look lettuce salad in the face again.

I eat all the other salad veggies, but I don't do lettuce. It fills me up too fast and doesn't have much nutritional value.

There is a difference between being "allowed" to eat lettuce, and it actually sitting well in your sleeve.

I was allowed to eat lettuce at around 3 months (my surgeon was a cautious type when it came to advancing the diet). But it wasn't until about 5 or 6 months that I could actually eat raw lettuce without getting a stomach ache.

Hi I am 3 mths out and can't eat all salads , I started eating salads at 9 weeks was told by Surgeon and dietician that was ok to do so , I love my salad x

I ment to say I can eat all types salad

I was told 3 months for Crunchy Veggies and Fruit... Although I have had a few shreds and they have sat well with me

I started eating lettuce at about three months out. Not a lot, it's usually a McDonalds side salad with a grilled chicken breast put on top. Most days I can eat only half of the salad. All depends on which meal it is, I tend to be able to eat less as the day goes on. I also eat shredded lettuce on tacos etc. I still measure everything, my Dr told me to measure forever and I'll never put my ight back on. I am always full and satisfied when I quit eating.

The best of luck to you

Im six weeks and can have lettuce but have not tried anything else. Mostly lettuce wraps

I'm almost six months out and still don't eat salads. I'm able to eat lettuce, but it's not worth it to me because I can only eat 3 or 4 bites and then I'm uncomfortably full. I miss salad....more than anything else I used to eat!!! I'll gladly give them up though for everything else I've gained with my sleeve!!!

Thanks guys for all the input!! You all are awesome!!

1 month and counting I miss my salad. But I am scared to try it. I think I will give it 2 more months to be on the safe side
