I think I was able to eat salads 8 weeks out. I really enjoyed it the few times I had them. However, I can no longer eat them.

TMI Warning:

They give me runny BMs, and I get immense gas pain.

So they might something to watch out for. Too much corn also gives me immense gas pain as well. Although, cooked cabbage is no problem at all.

I am at week 15 post op and tried my first salad today. I had red leaf lettuce and spinach leaves with "broccoli slaw and slivered carrots", 1 roma Tomato, cheddar cheese (shredded) and the mini turkey rounds (the slices are the size of pepperoni) I added my fav dressing (basalmic vinegrette) and was able to eat about 1/2 the mix (about 1/2 cup total) The dressing seemed very strong to me which is a first. I didn't even use a teaspoon of dressing. I was happy I didn't have any stomach problems and this was my first attempt at fresh veggies. Next time I will try a different Salad Dressing though

I had warm spinach salad this week (twice) with no issues so I am going to try lettuce tomorrow.

I cant wait! I'm at 15 weeks too.

Well I guess I still can't eat lettuce. I was messed up for over an hour after eating red leaf lettuce. I tried on two different days too. I think I will try in 2 weeks.
