Salads

When were you able to eat a salad again?

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

6 weeks out and eating salads

[Amytequilahouse 184]

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!

Thank you good to know salads aren't out for good. I'll wait three months and try one.

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)

[Amytequilahouse 184]

What does nutritionally void mean?

[FishingNurse 1,211]

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!
