OK Guys, I am a salad person, I am 8 weeks post op and have not had any issues with anything. However my Doctor says it's too soon for Salad's. How far out were some of you when you started eating salads, and did you have any Issues.

Was sleeved June 17 and did try a salad last week and didn't seem to have much difficulty. Couldn't tell if I felt fuller faster or not. No stomach upset after. I really haven't pushed the issue yet.

I started eating salad about 3 months post op. Didn't really have any trouble with it. I don't eat raw carrots or celery as they are too tough still. I always pair my salad with a Protein - chicken or tuna. I would say try eating a very small salad (few pieces), and see how your tummy handles it. If you feel ok - next time try a little more.

I think I started eating raw veg around 8 weeks. But my healing process was really smooth and I've never had any trouble with anything I've eaten. So, 8 weeks might be too soon for some people.

As long as you chew it well, why is there a problem? You need healthy food too.

Thanks Guys, Your Info Is Greatly Appreciated !

I started salads at about 3 months, never had any difficulty with them.

My surgeon cleared me to eat salad one month out. But he warned me of really roughages like raw broccoli, carrots and lettuce has to be chopped small before eating and chewed very well. I've had NO problems with anything. I feel blessed.
