I want a salad!

[JennLKN 4]

Hey guys, I am only 3 and a half weeks out, so I know it is not going to happen any time soon, but can someone tell me when I should be able to eat a salad again? It's been too long!!

Some folks can do them at 6 weeks some not till a few months. I was cleared at 6 weeks but waited 3 months to try it again. I am sure I could have gone sooner.

That's what I had for lunch today, it's as good as you remember and will be worth the wait!

Hang in there!

I was able to eat just about anything after three weeks. Salads have not been hard to eat at all. Don't remember anyone saying not to way them?

Ask your doctor, each surgeon has different timetable for salad... I had to wait nearly 4 months.

Can someone please tell me why you have to wait to eat salad?

WHY? try it and see what your stomach says. But it may be the pukes (the stomach might not be able to get everything 'ground up' to pass into the small intestine).

'Course, you could just put the salad into a blender and go for it.

Actually had a minced brocolli slaw (I am 3 weeks out) yesterday that went sown well.

I was cleared at three months. I can handle any of the lettuces. Dark green is the easiest. I had an Asian salad with napa cabbage- hurt like hell. That was at six months. But I can eat coleslaw without an issue.

I was cleared after 2 weeks. No problems with it at all.

I am almost 3 months out and just bought stuff the make a salad tomorrow for lunch! I am so excited! I missed salad so much.

I figure I would try it tomorrow b/c I'm off work so if necessary I will be close to my own bathroom
