I love salads. I'm one month out. How long did you wait before eating salads? I want to try but I'm a chicken!!

Please be careful with salads...the lettuce and such can expand in your sleeve!! Especially since you're new, you may want to try just a very small salad, and take it very slow...you'll fill the sleeve before you know it!!

Lettuce and many fresh veggies are not my friend anymore. They just don't "sit" well. I do miss salads...sigh...

I was back eating salads and fresh/raw veg at 6 weeks. I was adding spinach frozen and fresh to my protein drinks from week 1. However I am vegetarian and I think my system is used to it. Follow the food guide your nutritionist has provided and take it slow. Some people have trouble with raw veg as the roughage is hard on the tummy.

I think I'll wait it out. I have an appointment with my nutritionist in 2 weeks. I guess it's all trial and error in tiny portions. Thank you so much!!

I haven't eaten a salad since I was sleeved 8 months ago. Raw vegetables REALLY make me sick. I can only eat cooked vegetables. And I don't eat many of those, because then I wouldn't have room for my protein!

My nutritionist said to wait at least 6 months for salad.

I was allowed salads after 3 months

I stArted at 2 months post op. We have a salad bar in our cafeteria at work and I make a salad every day and cut up chicken in the salad. When I had the lapband that was the easiest way for me to eat meat and it still is easy for me to digest

I'm 3 months out and eat a salad almost every day for lunch. The lettuce doesn't give me problems, but I definitely have to be careful to get my protein in because otherwise I'll fill up on just the lettuce.

I also make wraps using either romaine or bib lettuce instead of bread.

2 mos out I was allowed to have salad again.
