I have heard from several people that you can't digest raw vegetables after gastric surgery like you used to. I am hoping that does not apply to Sleevers. Does anyone know for sure?

I think everyone is different. I have had small mixed green salads since I have been on solid food. I can't eat much of it but I definately can satisfy my desire for greens.

I have had salad as well and have tolerated it pretty well, but as JenC said, everyone is different so you may have to try a little and see how you are affected.

I tried salads about 7 weeks out and I have tolerated them just fine. Made me very happy!

Fourteen weeks out. Salads, with chicken and cheese are working well for my sleeve! Yummy...

I am about 7 weeks out and just ate my first salad yesterday. I had no problems and ate more of it today. Yummy!

Thank you all. I have been missing salads a lot and am anxious to dig in. So far, I've had no problems with anything I have eaten. I am hopeful the trend continues.

I do well with the greens but do not like the feeling from iceberg.
