First Time for everything
How far post op are you? I am not allowed anything but mushy vegetables and only then if I get my protein in. The NUT said you can have a bite of mushy veggies (a bite!) but nothing fibrous or crunchy. I'm in pureed stage and I imagine later in the process we might be able to eat some fibrous vegetables.
I'm almost 18 months out and I still don't do lettuce. First of all, because it takes up valuable room in the tummy that needs to be used for protein. Second, it's a worthless and pointless food...seriously, most lettuce doesn't have enough nutritional value in it for you to be eating it.
I eat the protein and good veggies off of a "salad" and leave the lettuce to be dumped in the garbage where it belongs.
Lots of people can't do raw veggies for many months. Stick with the proteins this early out. :)
