I was cleared to try anything at 5 weeks. I tried salad about then and tolerated it ok, just couldn't eat much of course.

I actually had my first salad last night. we were out for Sushi and I had a miso Soup and a house ginger salad. I was nervous, but it went fine. I didn't feel any different and I think it actually help me digest (TMI-I went #2 last night and this morning and that is alot for right now) I am 2 months and a few days out. I ate probably like 7 bites and it was ice burg lettuce, carrots and ginger dressing.

well the small salad I had today (3 bites) was fine - no issues so far. However, the dressing I put on was a thyme vinagrette and it literally tasted and smelled like DIRT....OMG it was awful - so I ate a little without the dressing (since I put the dressing on the 3 pieces of chicken since they looked dry). So now I'm under the day for Protein and will make it up at dinner tonight. Oh well...thanks for all your replies!

I eat salad about 3 to 4 times a week now. I started to be ok with it at 6 months out. I eat a variety of greens in my salad and include carrots. No celery. Can't handle that...too stringy. Cucumbers are good in it though. I also add either tuna, chicken, egg or I also make ground turkey with taco seasoning and eat the salad as a taco salad. Ground beef and me don't get along!!! When I do my turkey taco salad, I also add some thin sliced avacado to it, some cheese and a bit of salsa. Good luck.

A spinach salad with almonds, craisins and gorgonzola was almost a daily meal for me pre-op. Can't wait to incorporate that back into my diet @ 3 months post op.

      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.
