Today on my scheduled I could eat a salad so I was so excited because I love salads . I haven't had one since January. So I fixed my 2 ounces of garden salad with a forth of a tomato and put Low fat Ranch dressing on it! I ate it very slowly it took me over 30 minutes to eat 1/2 of it but I don't like the way it's digesting! I feel bloated and am gassy had to take a gas strip and I'm drinking lots of water ! Have any of you all had this feeling after eating a salad?

I have had a small amount of salad a handful of times post-op, but, for me, it takes up too much valuable stomach space for little to no protein (unless I add chicken to it). It tastes fine to me, and has never caused me any problems; it just isn't the best choice for me to maximize protein.
