Salad!
I tried it pretty early on and it made me SICK. I have pretty much stayed away from it and focus on lean protein. I wish I could tolerate it better. I could use the fiber!!

haha Response to food is just so individual. I've had no issues with anything so maybe I'm atypical. I went very slowly and I chewed it like crazy but the effort was worth the fresh veggies! I was able to eat about 1/4 cup.

According to my post op plan, I was not allowed raw vegetables of any kind until 5-6 months out. I wouldn't pu**** with the raw veg right away because they are usually very fibrous and hard for the stomach to break down. You're still healing, take it easy on your new tummy. I know salad and raw veg sounds really appealing right now but like I said, you're still healing. Give it some time.
band to sleeve revision and loving life!
You do you, and I'll do me
Keep dreaming. By the time you finish getting your protein in, there's not a lot of room for anything extra. I didn't have a problem tolerating them, just couldn't find space for them until I was 6 months or more out. Yeah, I ate chicken salad and tuna salad, but if you're talking about a plate of veggies, it just didn't happen.
