Salads!

[Katie713 423]

I'm also 7 weeks out and started salads last week and no problems whatsoever. Of course its the teeniest salad in order to have the greater part of my meal as Protein. But I can't wait to enjoy my salads this summer!

I was not allowed salad for 8 weeks, but it always goes down well. I find that I no longer like iceberg lettuce. It is harder to chew and digest. (Now that I finally chew my food for the first time in my life!) I use the bags of cut up romaine or spinach or bibb lettuce now. I usually put shrimp or chicken in my slalds, so I eat that first then tomatoes, or other stuff, etc., then I may eat a little of the lettuce if I am not full.

I didn't have a salad until 3 months out. Mine now are usually heavy on the Protein items (eggs, cheese, chicken) then some veggies (tomato, cucumber) and last I worry about the lettuce part. I use cottage cheese sparingly as the dressing sometimes, although I do have several different kinds of Salad Dressing on hand. I just don't really like to have my salad doused in dressing like I did pre-op.
