Anyone have any problems digesting lettuce. My dear goodness. Husband wanted to go to a Burger joint so I opted for a salad. Little did I know the lettuce was going to give me chest pains from hell.

I had chicken, avocado, egg, bacon and lettuce. Dear Lord I thought I was a goner.

I don’t get pain but I can’t really digest it. Whenever I eat it I end up throwing it up

How far out and how much did you eat? chicken avocado egg and bacon, and your sure it wasnt possibly you ate too much food that gave you the chest pain ? :P

I'm a year out and I know what I can't eat. Lettuce gave me a problem at 6 months been but thought I'd give it another go. I only had maybe 4 forks full and I had to stop. Took an antacid as well to help with the chest pains.

I usually have spinach because I can tolerate that but can't have iceberg lettuce.

Iceberg’s no good for you anyway :)

This has been helpful, I am not a huge lettuce fan, so really not that torn up, but good to know ahead that it might cause a problem. I guess it would be better to “experiment” at home, just in case

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
