I am almost 4 weeks post op and I've only got 4cc's, so I haven't had a tight fill yet. That will be March 6th. I'm finally on mostly regular food...just no bread or pasta. The only thing I haven't tried yet is salad. Did anyone have any problems with salad post op? I'm eating lunch at an italian restaurant and all they have at lunch is pasta, sandwiches, and salad. So, I am at a loss as to what to order! I haven't tried bread at all. That kind of scares me.

I've yet to have an issue with salad, in fact I was CRAVING greens when I was onto solid foods. I easily have a salad every other day - be sure to chew well and you should be fine:)

Good Luck!!

I was banded on Feb 13th. I had a salad the other day. I used soft green leaf lettus. I also put a few pieces of grilled chicken in it. It was yummy. I could only eat about 1/2 cup. my first fill isn't until March 25th. I still can only eat about 1/2 c food.

Salad has been one of the easiest foods for me and should be up there on every bandsters list because it helps with the fiber issues we can be prone to if we don't get enough fiber. I can also eat more salad than other foods, I think because it mushes up and shrinks...(very scientific,huh?)

Definitely try salad. I can eat salad at dinner time, but I am usually too tight at lunchtime for a salad (I only had my 1st fill 10 days ago). Everyone is different. I had no trouble with salads before my fill, so I would say to give it a try.
