I agree....salad didn't go well at week 6....it's the worst I've felt eating anything.... I'll give it another couple weeks, mahybe even a month, before I try again!

I think everyone is different with lettuce. I was able to have salad at 2 months out, some I know were able sooner, but I have a friend that is 6 months out and been scared away from it.

My advice would be that, when you think you are ready, do a bite test. Get your salad, take a bite, chew it and swallow, wait about 5 minutes to see how it feels. If it goes down well, try it slowly.

Good luck

I was able to incorporate salads at about week 7 or 8... I started small with just some spring mix or baby spinach.. Sliced up a couple of strawberries with some grilled chicken and balsamic vinegarette... went down just fine!! I enjoy the 1/2 salads that Wendy's sells..... I really lke the apple, pecan grilled chicken one...

I'm a little over 3 months out and just yesterday I had a Cobb salad off and on for a few hours. Everything was fine. I agree with musicbox up there, try a little and see how it goes.

It's a variable depending upon the doc's program and how one tolerates different things. I was playing around with small salads after 3-4 weeks, using chopped spinach instead of lettuce for its' little better nutritional profile, along with Tomato, avo, bell pepper, green onion, etc. along with a couple ounces of meat for Protein.< /p>
