The Salmon was better the night before when it was fresh. But nuked it was a little dry and we all know how dry food is. The first bite got stuck and took a couple of minutes to pass before I could finish my lunch. I made sure that eating the rest to chew it extra long.

As far as "lettuce" goes it's hard to break down when you chew it. That's why the surgeons recommend to not have salad. I have a feeling tho that if you had lettuce that was finely shredded and chopped up into smaller piece like what you get in a Taco Bell Taco Salad that it would be ok. But I am only guessing on that. Haven't tried that yet. I know that at the local Winn-Dixie grocery store down here we can buy bags of shredded lettuce like that so I am tempted to try it but we will see.

Really all in all food is going to very from person to person and what you can eat before a fill and after a fill can be and will be two different things.

ninner did you have any problem with any of this going down.

.

I have a 14 cc band w no fill. The only time I ever feel a restriction at this point is on scrambled eggs or if I swallow too big of a bite. I allways try to take small bites and chew chew chew.

Today so far:

B: 2 scrambled eggs with a slice of cheese, 3 bites of sausage

S: coffee with nonfat milk and splenda

L: 4 pieces of turkey and 4 pieces of cheese rolled up and dipped in grey poupon

I went on solid foods yesterday so I'm not really sure what I should be eating yet. I haven't gotten anything stuck or been uncomfortable at all eating. I don't have a fill in yet. I get one in 2 weeks but I don't really think I feel restriction? I haven't eaten until I was hurting anyway so I don't really know. I eat about 1/2 to 1 cup of food a meal.. sometimes a little less.
