Just wondering if and when people started eating lettuce? And if so, what kind? Any give you problems?

Thinking about a lettuce wrap in place of a sandwich...

I have had my times over the years where I could eat lettuce and when I could not. Right now I can and I eat all kinds. Just go slow and the greener the better.

For me the wrap would be more of an issue than the lettuce. I find lettuce of any type is fine to eat but wraps can be a day to day proposition.

Just be sure to chew slowly, small bites and take your time.

I don't remember exactly when I started eating lettuce but I did not have solids until I was 5 weeks out. I used to have a chicken sandwich made with a Romain lettuce leafs every day for lunch. I would spread low fat laughing cow cheese down the spine, add chicken, mustard, roll the sides over and enjoy!

I had lap band surgery this year on April 9th and my first fill on June 6th (don't think I am in the "green" zone yet). But, I made a phone call to my Nutrionist today to ask her if I could have a tossed salad and she said "YES". I did not have any issues. ~ Good Luck ~

I had a salad for dinner last night, I use the actual head of lettuce instead of bagged lettuce
