My program bans salad for at least 6 months.Too hard to digest the raw roughage.

At 8 weeks they said I good. It's was the best thing I had in weeks. About an hour later I wasn't feeling well. A few days ago I tried again same thing happened so I decided to wait to try again.

Mine says the same. I love salad and should be able to try it by the holidays. :-)

I love salad and really missed it--waited till my 4th month out. Can eat very little of it still--just does not agree with my pouch.

I started salad at 6 weeks. I am at 8 weeks and eat it all the time. I started with baby spinach and spring mix salads...they are a little softer.

My nutritionist said to try and wait til 4 to 6 months for raw veggies. I think, even though technically they are allowed now, it is still hard to chew them enough to not have problems with little pieces getting stuck. Any thing cooked is fine. I stay away from celery though. I can picture the little strings getting stuck!

I got the go ahead on salads at 8 weeks. But the first few attempts weren't good. I started buying chopped salad in a bag. It's smaller pieces.
