Salad

[cindyc 3]

I'm 7 weeks out and I'm wanting a salad badly. Has anyone eaten one yet and what was your result?

I've heard some people's programs don't recommend them until they're several months out, so first off I'd say check with your NUT. My program said it was ok once I was on regular foods. I just eat teeny bites and chew extremely well if I have salad. I haven't had a problem, but I have read some people here who do experience discomfort with raw veggies. So....1) check with your NUT and if you get the all clear 2) try some slowly and carefully (as with all foods being reintroduced!)

i'm actually cleared for roughage at 7 weeks, which will be the last thing i'm cleared for. but i would still check with your NUT first!

Check with your Nut or the written plan the surgeon gave you. If you do decide to have one even though it's not on plan, I suggest that you take the salad and chop everything as finely as you possibly can. Be sure to take small bites and chew very well. And the first time you do it, you should only eat about half as much as you would with other foods.

I have friends who have been eating salad since 6 weeks. I am at 7 now and haven't tried it yet but I am venturing out this week to try some. I miss veggies.

I'm almost 3 months out and was allowed salad at 8 weeks. Was delish. Never thought I would crave a salad so much
