I know it's way early, but when was everyone here able to start eating lettuce tomatoes and other raw salad veggies after gastric bypass?

My instructions were six-seven weeks.

Same for me! (around six weeks)

My surgery was 6/13/18 and when I went for a follow-up on 7/26/18 they said I could begin lettuce and tomato. I'm still very careful with any raw veggies and don't eat them often. They don't always feel great.

I was able to do soft lettuce (baby greens) at one month post-op; most vegetables at 3 months post-op.

That just seems so long!

By 3 months I was eating all veggies and fruits. I craved salad and veggies.

I am still dreaming??of such a CRAZY Day! Hello from sad little perpetual liquid diet , no solids diet Frustr8. But as the 60s hit suggested, OUR DAY WILL COME!

You will get there!!! Just think not so long ago you were pre op. You made it here?

And I'm gonna yet, I just hoped to be on the Express ?Line, not a bumpy local ?that stops for every goat, chicken and litter on the train tracks.??I want to be a Big Strong Bypass Baby? like all the others here!

I’m 18 months out from surgery and raw veggies are iffy. They fill me up with just a few pieces and feel stuck. I used to eat salads 4-5 days a week but rarely now.

I was told no raw veggies until 3 months out ...that’s when I get to regular foods.
