    Well I'm just not sure but I want a salad real bad. I'm a month post op and could really make good use of a salad! Hopefully someone here will let us know.

    My nut had me wait 6-8 weeks for a taste of veggie! I waited around 5-6 to be honest.

    Lol, I would have killed someone for some lettuce back then! But even now, I find myself thinking "Protein first" and I don't eat much else other than my protein.

    6 weeks I could eat anything. I so missed salad but by the time I could eat it, it does not taste that good to me. After 4 months I hardly ever eat more than a couple bites.

    I could eat salads 1 month post. All docs have different plans. Best to ask your nutritionist

    I started eating salad at about six out. I am 3 1/2 mos postop I eat salad frequently and have no problems with it.

    I have found that romaine lettuce and others like it are easier to chew well, compared with iceberg.
