What is the general consensus on salads? I know we're supposed to concentrate on protein and try to get in as much as possible . If I make a spinach salad with tuna fish on top is this a good thing or should I stay away from salads ?

I am 8 weeks out from surgery and can not add fruits and vegetables util next week. The last 4 weeks I have been on soft proteins only. I have not had a vegetable since before surgery. I would pay close attention to what your NUT has to say about your diet progression. They have an established program for a reason; It has worked for their patients.

Good Luck to you!

SKyriakakis....nice greek name by the way. Before starting salads, check with your nutritionist first to see if your sleeve is ready for the raw spinach. If so....go for it. sounds like an awesome meal to me.

I have a bit of salad sometime. Make sure you eat the protein first because salad can fill you up quickly.
