Salad for the first time since surgery...11 weeks out.



Recommended Posts

I had salad for the first time since surgery and tolerated it just fine. As a matter of fact, I am tolerating just about everything well, except breads, tortillas and Pasta. I have heard others say they were unable to tolerate salad. Just curious, What has been your experience?

I'm 6 months out and salad does not sit well with me. I can eat just about anything else. I can have a little bit and I'm fine, but I do miss sitting down to a nice cold salad with veggies.

I ate salad fine with no problems, I ate 2 spoons of macaroni last night and it didnt sit well with my tummy. It came up and yes i ate it really slow :(

I have had salad once, it was so good and it went down fine and no problems at all!! my first time throwing up :(

salad (greens) fills me up way too fast. That leaves me feeling unsatisfied . The "Protein first" mandate is a must for me. My body is keenly aware if I skip out on my proper nutrition.

I do much better if I slice a cucumber or Tomato and then add a lettuce leaf, cheese or chicken to that. I have yet to find anything that I can not tolerate . There are several things that I do not crave anymore, like bread, Pasta and fancy mixed salads. I will indulge in them from time to time but one or 2 bites and I'm done.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
