I'm 6 months out and I haven't tried lettuce. Heard its hard to digest. Any ideas when I'll be ready?

I cant remember when I actually tried lettuce but you should try just a leaf now. Just make sure you really make it wet with dressing.

I'm 4 1/2 months out and tried salad this weekend for the first time and it went great. I actually felt really good after eating it. I love salad too!!! My doctor would prefer you wait until 6 month mark but I just couldn't wait. I tried a Wendy's salad they have a half portion size. Good Luck!!!

I am exactly 3 months out today and I have been eating baby spinach salads for a few weeks at least. I don't eat them often and I only eat about 1/4 to 1/3 cup over a period of time but I don't have a problem with it.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
