FeeIsMe2 508 Posted May 1, 2013 I was told to wait over 4 months for salad, as for bread my surgeon does not recommend it until you reach goal. Bread is my downfall so I will keep the heck away from it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nsquared 232 Posted May 1, 2013 I am a few days shy of 3 months post op and I comfortably eat salads multiple times per week. I don't eat bread so I don't know about that one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MrsG 329 Posted May 1, 2013 I was ok'd for raw veggies at my 2 month visit. I eat salads almost every day. I haven't tried bread. Almost 5 months out. I was ok'd for salads at 2 months also. I love salad! I missed it so much for those 2 months. I'm not allowed bread til 6 months and even then I plan on keeping it to a bare minimum til I get to goal. I'm 3 1/2 months out.

SMO 193 Posted May 1, 2013 I am 3 months out and cannot tolerate either bread or salad. Lettuce is the only food that makes me feel like I am going to vomit. Bread is just too heavy. I was cleared to eat raw veggies at 3 months. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
melodymouse 196 Posted May 2, 2013 salad was the only food I mourned for after I had surgery. I could eat cooked veggies but the raw ones took a while. @ 15 months, they still are slow digesters for me. I pretty much stay away from bread but when I do eat some I either have Orowheat Winter Wheat bread or I use the multigrain sandwich rounds. They're great as a substitute when I make my half a hamburger. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
