Wow, that would be hard. I can't live without a salad with lemon and seasoning

I tried at 1 month, didn't work. 2 months, no luck!! Last week - almost 3 months I ate a bison salad from Ted, avacodos and tomatoes . I could only do a few bites

Why eat salads? It fills you up and u don't get Protein? Unless u add meat...

Just saying.

Adding the Protein to the veggies kills two birds with one stone. When I had the lap band they were a waste of space today I love them. Protein and veggies!!!

My Dr. Said your insides are not ready to work hard enough to digest raw veggies and fruit for 4 months. Let your stomach heal, then try the raw stuff.

My dietician said that salads are empty calories which only fill u up. So then u will not have enough room for your Protein. I was told I can introduce salads at 12 weeks post op.

That was my understanding as well. But each surgeon is different, as to what they want us to eat or stay away from.
