Hey congrats on giving up smoking!!

I started with Tomato at around 5 months--I think it was allowed earlier on my plan, but my sleeve didn't like it. I had to wait for a couple of months after that to get some lettuce in.

The subject concerning salads has come up before.

I don't understand why eating a salad is some special, and there might be a problem?

others sleevers, can't wait to hear your responses.

btw because of all this discussion - i haven't eaten a salad yet <_<

I actually enjoyed my Chikfila salads right before my sleeve n I've been craving one. I can't have any red meat cause it comes up fast. I thought I could at least look forward to having a salad again lol.

No smoking feels soooo good :)

I started salads at three months, and love them...my sleeve does really well with salad. I waited so long because I had heard so many people say that salad didn't sit well...it seems to be different for everyone and may just be one of those things that you have to try in a small amount and see how it sits with you. :) Congratulations on your loss so far and quitting smoking!

I had a small salad at about 3.5 weeks. But you gotta remember, most salads are nutritionally void (iceberg lettuce is basicly just water)

What does nutritionally void mean?

it means not a lot of nutrients or other nutrition you need like Protein. I started eating small salads a 2 months out with cucumber, Tomato, cheese, and nuts.

I started making small meal salads by the one month mark. I used chopped spinach instead of lettuce for a bit better nutrition along with some Tomato, avo, green onion, bell pepper, carrot, snow pea (typically only 10-15g of each) along with a couple ounces of meat and a little cheese. It was great change from the standard meat, cheese and yogurt staples and kept me sane!

      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.
