Can't do lettuce either yet How far post-op are you? I am 2 1/2 mos out. I can do tomatoes chopped fine but not lettuce so can't eat salads yet either.

I am 5 weeks out and I have done both lettuce and spinach. I basically sprinkle a little lettuce on my chicken and add a little dressing. I try to take a bit of either cheese or chicken with a bite of lettuce and it seems to be working.

I'm 3 weeks out and I have eaten salad and done fine with it. It was nice to be able to eat salad. I had the band before I converted to the sleeve and with the band I could not eat lettuce. So far no problems with it now.

Hi Trouble, I am new to the forum and I am 2 weeks out, I see you say you've had lettuce already.When did u first have something to eat? I've tried baked chicken and I've had no problems with it. I'm just wondering if I'm moving too fast?

Before I had this surgery (which I still call a blessing btw) I used to have a salad everyday for lunch. I love romaine lettuce and grape tomatoes with just about any kind of Protein and other veggies that I'm in the mood for.

I tried a small salad the other week, and I chewed it till it was almost liquid. It made me have the most awful heartburn.

Yet, I can juice veggies, and not have a problem.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
