I started to eat salads at 6 months out....My Stomach couldn't take the raw veggies.....Now 8 months out I eat salad and raw veggies with dip......good stuff!!!!

I had to wait three months. Fortunately for me - my sleeve handles everything. The only thing I really had trouble with was peas, they didn't make me sick - my stomach just didn't digest them well. My nutritionist told me to start off with iceberg lettuce (easier for stomach to break down but have no nutritional value really) then work my way up to romaine, spinach. I handled them all fine. I'd call your doctor/nutritionist - every doctor is different. But I'm four months out now & can eat raw veggies of all sorts and fruit with peels, salad, etc. - I just try to stay away from high carb veggies, fruits, and sorts.

I was cleared for all solids including raw veggies 5 weeks post op. I was not a salad girl before but now I crave them!

Cleared for everything as tolerated at 6 weeks (10weeks Monday). So far do good tolerating everything!! Just finished shrimp salad on a bed of romaine! Yummmm!!! I love my sleeve! (Used to have a lapband and salad/fresh veggies were hit or miss, and we won't mention the raw carrot episode of 2008!)

By the way shrimp is a WONDERFUL way to get your Protein in. costco shrimp salad is 70 cal for 1/2 a cup, 5.8gm carbs, 1.8gm fat and 10.3gm protein!!! It's becoming my go to food, when I'm hungry, or need some extra Protein. (And yummy too!)

I am a little less than 3 months and I am approved for salads. It goes down great. I usually do a spinach salad with grilled chicken or shrimp.
