I'm about 6 weeks post op and I notice I can eat salad really well...a lot of it! I read it was a slider food. Is it bad that I'm able to consume so much lettuce? It makes me feel like a normal person when I have it so I like that I can eat it but I find myself upset that I'm not able to eat like everyone else...I just joined a gym so I'm hoping this can be my new thing so that I don't think about food as much

It looks like you are eating a ton when lettuce is consumed....but try putting a cup of lettuce in a blender and just chop it up...you end up with 1/4 or even less of a cup of lettuce. That is why you can eat so much of it.

I've never heard that lettuce was a slider. Eat as much as u like. No one got fat from eating salad (salad dressing , yes, but not just lettuce). Then again, popcorn is a slider for me. While I can only eat about 6 bites of almost anything, I can eat a bucket of movie popcorn.

Sliders may be different for everyone. I'm sure some r the same for everyone (ice cream, shakes, puddings, yogurt, anything that just "slides" thru) and some people have additional sliders (cereal, chips, cookies). Really the only thing I could eat continuously is popcorn.

No clue why...

Lettuce is a slider for me too! The first time I had it I thought "my sleeve is broken"!! Lol. Then I ate some chicken and got stuffed after 4 bites.

I enjoy eating a salad evey one in a while. I'm glad its a slider.

Sounds like a great slider to have. Can be healthy, gives great satisfaction from chewing, etc. I wish that was my slider instead of crackers and chips (which I try to avoid as much as possible).
