I was told no salad for 4 months! <---yes, MONTHS!!

I'm just over three months out and started having salad last week. During my last visit surgeon said I should be able to eat pretty much anything by now. I still play it safe and try new foods carefully.

I miss my salad so much and I am in my 5th week out. Can someone tell me why they do not want us to eat salads. Is it because of the lack of protein in it or for some other reason?

Believe it or not, lettuce is extremely hard on your digestive system. My pancreas was removed except for the head in 1993 and I have a really hard time with salads. Some may be able to tolerate it but not many I know of. I can do iceberg pretty well now but romaine is still a problem.

I miss salads much I had a dream last night that I STOLE some poor lady's salad! I laughed when I told mother but then I was sad again. I miss you salad. ;(

Is salad a forever problem?

I sure hope not

I would love to have a salad right about now, I am almost 3mths out and I am still struggling with my eating.

I saw my surgeon and asked him about salads and veggies. I told him how much I miss them. So he tells that I should eat my protein first then I could try some salad or steamed veggies. He also said,"You won't be able to eat much because you should've eaten your protein." Well he was right but let me tell you that little bit of salad was so DELICIOUS. on my next meal I made my husband a side of steam veggies and I was in heaven. Advice is chew both very well and you can only eat a tiny amount but it is worth it.

Absolutely missing my spinach salads with balsamic, Gorgonzola and craisins. No salad for me allowed until 3 months post op.

I will be 8 weeks out tomorrow n I eat salad 5 days a week for lunch. I haven't seem to have any problems with it
