Lettuce, raw veggies

[bellamarie 4]

Hi there! I had my gastric bypass on October 17th and I am still not eating salads. Does anyone know how long your Dr said you had to wait to eat that?

Thank you!!

You had surgery on my birthday!! Are you on a your full food diet yet? You can eat salad when you can tolerate it!

I had to wait 3 months. I can't eat more than a few bites.

I was cleared for lettuce at 5 weeks but haven't tried it yet.

I'm cleared for it. Had it a couple times but it didn't agree with me. GB on 10/26

I'm so grateful for your responses. I love salads and I want to try!! I was wondering why it's taking so long to get it cleared by my dr

I'm 3 months out, haven't had a salad but I do use romaine lettuce as a wrap for ground beef/turkey. Haven't had any issues with it.

I am 3 years out from my RNY. I can just now eat a small amount of salads. If I follow my guidelines and eat Protein first I never have room for veggies. This last summer I had an all veggie dinner. Without any Protein. I don't do this often but I had sliced tomatoes and a 1/2 ear of corn.

I will have salad as a garnish..I'm 10 weeks out...honestly after my Protein there isn't much room for salad yet

[bellamarie 4]

That's crazy I have room for Protein and another side. I wish I could eat salad and chicken with it. I'll ask my Dr why I still have room

I still can't eat a full salad, just a few bites, don't have the space for it and my priority is Protein. Since I was worried about receiving enough nutrients every day and even if I could eat , I couldn't eat enough of a variety to really help, I went back to juicing. Every afternoon when I go pick up my daughter from school I have my juice on the way as my snack, I do have varieties but my favourite : 3 cucumbers, 1 green apple, one slice of lime with the rind on, 1 carrot. If I have fresh herbs: coriander, basil etc, I blend with some of the juice and add it. Feeling great and since I started, no more issues with Constipation.

All greens and virtually all raw veggies run right through me so I avoid them. I can do cooked veggies, though. Cooked root veggies such as squash and carrots work best for me. Broc and cauliflower also are okay, cooked. I eat more fruit now.
