When Could You Eat Salad and Crunchy Vegatables?

[ab123. 90]

Basically don't have any follow up with my team after 3 weeks and I'm 6 weeks out. Wondering - when could you eat crunchy salad and vegatables?

I wasn't allowed to introduce them till about 6 weeks out. I did nibble on little pieces of lettuce at about 4 weeks though

Man I miss salads.

I wasn't specifically told to not eat them right now but when I have had them I have chewed the salad to mush before I swallowed. I also had FF dressing & no croutons. Only ate maybe 5-6 small bites.

I asked my NP the same thing about 6 weeks out and she asked me what I missed about salad. I told her that I loved all the yummy toppings and she told me to go to a salad bar and get just that. It was the onions and red pepper and radishes and carrots and YUM! Lettuce is just filler.

I have a stricture so I couldn't do this for about three months, but it cured exactly I craved.

3 months out per my plan. I did try lettuce right about 3 months and didn't have an issue. Didn't try crunchy vegetables until recently and I'm 8 months out.

I was cleared at 5 weeks for anything I wanted and could tolerate. Have not had lettuce but had several raw veggies and they went well. I don't have many since I still get full with my Protein.

I was allowed to eat solid foods three weeks after the surgery. When I saw my surgeon, I told him that I was going crazy eating soft food. That's when he told me, that I could eat solid food since I was doing excellent.

My team's super-conservative plan doesn't allow salad or other crunchy vegetables until 6 months after surgery.
