My Dr said at week 7 I could try salad. Its weird that I asked about salad and thats what I am craving. Im going on week 4.

My doctor said 6 weeks, but I waited 8. I still to this day have trouble with iceberg lettuce for some reason. I do great with greens and always make sure there is plenty of Protein in my salad. I would suggest a small amount first to see how your sleeve tolerates it.

I'm cleared for salad. I've been hesitant because so many do not tolerate well. I'm wondering what side effects you all experience when salad isn't working.

You should be ok just take it slow and chew well. I am loving my salads this summer. I'm about 14 weeks out and have been enjoying salads since week 6.

Yep, I was told 6 weeks too... I'm at 4 1/2 now. It will be nice when I can try them because it will make going out to eat easier. I try to look at menus and plan before I go but you never know what restaurants throw in their dishes. I'm ready for a grilled chicken salad! Yum!

Hi, I'm 7 weeks post-op today too. My doc (not my original surgeon, I've had some complications), said I could start salad this week. Also said I could have some cooked veggies too - not a big salad eater, but so glad I can eat some cooked veggies!

I was told 8 weeks but tried it at 6 and it was fine... just chew well like everyone is saying. Enjoy... for me it tasted great...

Oh my gosh.. I was just telling my co-worker how gosh darn bad I want salad.. nutrionist kept me on stage 3 for now..

I'm 5 weeks out today.. I keep craving All types of salads... Esp the Oriental chicken salad @ applebees cept I have them put lime on the grilled chicken and I get french and the BEST tip I had was dip your fork in the dressing then pick up food..

Here I go.. Thinking about the salad again.. :'( I want it so bad, but i don't wanna mess up my progress..

I'm actually hauled at 230.4 for over a week now.. very frustrating.
