Congrats! I would count that as an NSV! Frankensleeve didn't like any vegetables till around the 6 month mark. Lettuce was just too tough for him. :-)

I'm almost 7 months and still can't eat much salad..."green" with envy! (Sorry, I couldn't resist!)

I wonder if the kind of lettuce matters. Like crisp iceberg vs romaine that is soft

I too enjoyed some salad the other day!

Salads are my all time fave they just never filled me up before

I had 3 bites of a salad and bam I was full

Thrilled!!

I just started Salads at about 5 1/2 months - can only do the spring mix though & it has to be cut up in to little bites... BUT I am So happy to be able to have a little salad with my Protein :D

Hooray! :D I've been eating veggies since about three weeks out, but I sometimes get sad that I can't have more. Sometimes I'll be naughty and skip Protein for one meal in favor of a nice salad.

My favorite dressing is actually just plain rice wine vinegar. It is far less tart than traditional vinegar and adds a touch of sweetness. Best thing is, its 0 calories, 0 carbs, 0 fat! :D

I am also 6 weeks out and eat salads almost daily. I was just told to never eat iceburg because there is no nutrients in it. I eat Romaine and spring mix and ad eggs, meat (ground beef, chicken) cheese. They actually help my protein go down much better by eating the greens with it.

I was also told no ice berg lettuce. Along with the no nutritional value its a little harder for the new little tummies to digest.

I'm 9 weeks and 1 day out from surgery and I had my first chef salad today for dinner. It's been several hours and no problems. Im so happy! I love a good salad!

Good to know
