For some reason salads scared me... my concentration was getting my protein in FIRST. My surgeon was big on protein first. I tried salad about 4-5 months post op and it did not go down very well. I also loved my salads and now I'm just not into them, my taste buds have changed BIG TIME !!!

I eat them like 5/6 months yummy I try it before then ended up vomiting.

I love eating salads. However the firs few times I noticed that creamier salad dressing made me sick.

I think I was around 6 weeks when I was allowed to start, maybe 8. They have been a regular part of my diet since that point. No problems at all, info use a fat free dressing and typically have turkey, cheese, and boiled egg whites on them.

I started having salad at 7 weeks once I was moved to regular diet. I do put mozzarella cheese and chopped hard boiled egg on top and eat that first to make sure I get my protein in. I do find that I can eat quite a bit of salad (more than other foods), must be the consistency. I usually have Italian or balsamic dressing so I haven't tried any creamy dressings yet.
