How far out are you?

Salads are very fiberous and difficult for the stomach to digest. Remember, the stomach is the mechanical part of digestion and you just had 85% of it removed. Salads, then red meat were the last things for me to be able to eat. I had my first salad (iceburg) 4 months post-op.

Sounds to me like you may have eaten salads a little too early on your journey.

What did you eat about 3-4 hours prior?

I had to wait at least 2 and half months to eat salad. I think you are jumping on the salad a little too early.

Waited about 5 months before able to eat side salads. I still have trouble with raw veggies like red peppers if I do not chew them enough or leave enough space. You might want to give your some time to progress through the various food types. Beef was also a difficult one.

I waited about 3 mths and i have one almost everyday.......

Ive actually been able to tolerate everything so far (Im 3 1/2 months out) but I havent tried a salad yet cause it wasnt sleeve space worthy lol. But Im going to give a go this weekend and see what happens.

3 weeks and I'm still on soft foods, salads, lettuce, seeded veggies & raw veggies are on my after 4 months list. Check with your doctor or nutritionist but I think 3 weeks is way too soon for raw veggies.

That happened to me last night after I ate ice cream. Makes me never want ice cream again though!!!

I've never thrown up but had this happen several times, especially with ultra sweet and high fat foods. Serious gas volume happens a lot for me if I eat something that has a lot of Fiber or acid.

I'm with Bunny! I want a salad so bad. I am only 2 weeks out so I guess I'll wait a while but I would seriously enjoy a salad.

I'm 9 weeks out and had my first salad this week. It was soooo good! I thoroughly enjoyed it. I wasn't allowed raw veggies til 2 months out. I had no problem digesting it and it didnt bother my sleeve at all. Since then I've had a salad every day. I think 3 weeks may have been a little too soon. Hang in there, you'll get your salads back!
