Salads When?

[Anamor2011 64]

Hi, I'm out 3 years and still can't and probably will never be able to have salads. The lettuce or any leafy vegatable nearly kills me. It's a pain like i've never had before, a call me an ambulance pain. . . it lasts for about 30 minutes and goes away. . . my doctor said that alot of people with the sleeve can't tolerate salad. Do I miss it? No, i just do the best i can with the other options, like coleslaw is good, mixed veggies is ok, cooked veggies are good. . stuff like that. . . good luck

o wow, my coworker is a year out and she eats salads. I am just too scared to try. I have a lil lettuce here and there, but mostly cooked veggies and some raw cabbage too.

I must confess that I am seven weeks out and have had salad.Maybe because I have had the band for many years( and I know I really chew things very very well) I've had no problem whatsoever.

Having said that I only eat a spoonfull of a green salad...not a lot.I also eat snap peas,green Beans,cabbage,carrots cucumber...but again,very very little at a time.I've just missed it too much and at least one meal a day will have something like that.I recon if you can at stuff like brussel sprouts and broccoli,which I do too,why not salad?

just chew,chew,chew.

I was eating Peanut Butter after 2 weeks....not a lot, probably just a teaspoon and I ate it very slowly :-)

I am 8 weeks out and have been eating salad for a few weeks now. It is one of the few things that doesn't seem to upset my stomach at all. I actually eat a lot of lettuce, I have turkey lettuce wraps and cheeseburger lettuce wraps.

I'm almost 3 months post-op and I ate a small yummy tossed salad yesterday. I REALLY enjoyed it and didn't have any discomfort. All I can suggest is that you try it, just do it slowly and wait a long time between bites just in case you have problems.

Where do you get the lettuce wraps? And how big are they?
