I was wondering how many of you eat salads and do not have any problems? I am so hungy for one and had my surgery in April. Do you think that it is safe?

I had my surgery in May and I eat salad all the time. My doctor gave me the ok for it 2 months after surgery. Maybe just call your doc and make sure!

I think most of us eat salads. I try not to eat much iceberg lettuce simply because it has pretty much zero nutrition. But darker lettuces, spinach, etc. are healthy/nutritious and tasty. Like everything, chew well and you should be fine!

I had surgery the end of May and I eat salad too. I agree with eating darker greens though. I love adding spinach to my salads. My favorite is a spinach mix with strawberries, apple pieces, a couple nuts, and some raspberry vinigrette.

I miss my salads. I love and even crave a salad, but my band will not tolerate it. I am hoping when I reach my goal and loosen my band a small amount that I can eat it again. I can only hope.. It has been a year since I have had one. :blink:

I had my surgery a year ago and I pretty much each a salad every day for lunch. It's one of my favorites to eat and since work provides us with lunch, I always pick the salads. I also tend to do the dark greens or weeds as most people call them :blink: To be safe ask your Dr

My doctor said try to avoid salads cause its empty space because the protien needs to be eaten first and not to fill up ont the lettuce before the Protein. But I agree with the other posters to stick with the darker greens. Try to eat the protein first and the veggies and last the lettuce or darker greens

I've had no problems eating salads. I've so far had no food intolerances (knock on wood) but I always chew very very well. I've had a few bites of salad because I love it but I just make sure I get my Protein in for the day.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
