Salad

[Pookeyism 1,143]

I have had a salad about 3 months ago - so about 6 months out...it did not like my tummy and I was uncomfortable until it passed.

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.
