Salads??

When can we start eating fresh salads?? They are not mentioned on my plan at all!  Do you all know? Or we don't eat salads? 😳

I was allowed after 2 weeks but on my plan all food was allowed after 2 weeks starting with softer stuff

lettice is usually pretty easy on the sleeve

I could eat anything that agreed with me after two weeks.  Salad ingredients take some testing.  Small onions pieces killed me, bet after a couple weeks I tried them again with no problem.  Cucumber was the same.  carrots no problem, nor was lettuce, spinach, or other leafy things.

I wasn't allowed any raw veg until 3 months after surgery. 

I'd ask your NUT to be sure.  Some people can't until 3 months.  Others are able to sooner or later.  

Check with your nut....I could start at 6 weeks.

I could have salad at 7 weeks out.

Thanks :)

I tried one early and it was horribly uncomfortable.  I tried again around 6 mos post-op, and it went much better.  The room in your stomach is so precious though, that you'll want your salad to be heavier in protein than veggies.

you have done amazingly well, great job. I have my sleeve surg this thurs. 2. 12 and we are going to have snow. a little nervous but I'm in good hands. from up above
