Do you consider salad a "slider" food?

I rediscovered salads last week and really enjoyed it because that the first meal in a long time I didn't have a problem with. Since my 3rd fill, I have a difficult time eating without getting stuck. So, I was really happy when I decided on a salad the other day for lunch :thumbup:

I don't know about "slider" food but at day 15, I'm allowed to try regular food with precautions (eat very tiny bites, chew (!!!), swallow carefully and immediately put down anything that causes discomfort.

I surprised myself by having some salad today. We had a salad in the fridge and I honestly thought I would just be picking out bits of chicken, bacon, feta, etc. but the lettuce also went down quite easily.

I was rather freaked out by that as I had expected to have far more restriction. I am not starving and had only a cup of salad or so, but it was still far more than I thought I would be able to eat.

I don't expect a fill until July so hope I am not running into "bandster hell" in the near future.
