Lettuce

[pjknitts 47]

I was just wondering how hard it really is for lettuce to be digested. I'm craving a salad so bad!!!

I think everyone is different as far as what they can tolerate. I can tolerate everything Ive tried. Salads dont give me a problem. I can actually fit in a good amount of lettuce but I make sure to put some chicken or shrimp or at least a hard boiled egg to capatilize on getting Protein in.

Got nothing important to add............I just wanted to see what someone named "Bunny" had to say about lettuce........

I haven't had any issue with lettuce (9 months out). I've had it like Bunny suggested, with some Protein. Turkey/chicken, shrimp and just this weekend a really good lobster salad YUM. I got the crunch of the salad with out adding too much.

I had my first salad at 3.5 months out. It was a chopped salad from Panera (steak and blue cheese) and it was so freaking good!!! OH EM GEE!! I never realized how much I would miss a stinking salad until I finally had one. I can eat a lot more of it than I thought, too, so it made me nervous at first. As soon as I ate the roast beef on it, I was full. DELISH!!

My kids prefer chopped salad so that's what we are making at home now, too!

I can tolerate salads easily. I'm 3 months post op. I do like the others, and add Protein to it, so I get mostly protein, and some lettuce.

I am 4 months post op and just started adding salads back into my diet. I make sure there is plenty of Protein and eat the salad slowly. Though I make "half a salad" I still eat half of that and it takes about 90 minutes to eat. I enjoy salads and am glad to get back into eating them while it is still warm outside (don't like them much in the winter)
