I'm wondering how long did you wait before you started eating salads after the sleeve?? I'm now able to start introducing regular foods into my diet and I want to stay healthy. I really want a salad! Also what did you start with when you were able to eat regular foods?

For me, it was a good six months before I tried salad, and now at a year out, it's still rare that I eat one because by the time I've gotten my Protein in, there's just no room. I understand wanting some, though. Just be aware that you may not have room without sacrificing your protein goal. On top of that, many people report pain/discomfort with salad, especially in the first several months. I know a few people who still can't tolerate it a couple years out. I get my veggies diced and thrown in eggs or sauteed with chicken/shrimp/ground turkey. Good luck!

Started eating salads without discomfort at about 3 months out. Per surgeons orders made sure to chew very well. I love greens from a visual standpoint because what looks like a large volume on your plate ends up taken up a small volume in your pouch. 10+ months out and I generally have a salad every day for one meal. I like to add beans or half a veggie burger to my salad greens for extra protein and usually some sliced almonds, grape tomatoes and a drizzle of olive oil vinaigrette. Also, some fresh ground pepper and salt!

Thanks for the information!!
