Has anybody eaten salads of any type at 3 months out? I am dying for a salad but am scared to try it.

I had a salad of greens, beets and feta with green goddess dressing 1 month out with no ill effects. My advice is the try new things on the weekend if you work just in case. Also take a small bite or two and see if you feel wonky. If not, enjoy!

Agreed, always try new things at home in case of dumping, gas, diarrhea or vomiting![emoji12]

I had salad at one month with no major ill effects. A little more gas than I'd like, so i'm gonna wait another two weeks before I try again. I can't wait to reintegrate them, either:)

I've been fine whenever I've eaten salads. Go slow and only eat a little bit until you see how it sits with you.

I had a salad at about 2 months out with no problems. Have a small amount, chew slowly and see how you go. You CAN make friends with salad!

I am 3.5 weeks out - I can have a small bit of cucumber, Tomato, spinach and feta salad. After my small falafel patty (protein first). Chew chew well.

I had salads at 2 months out with no problem. It was just a basic romaine lettuce one with maybe some carrots and bits of turkey and bacon. I started with little bits at a time and ate it with dressing so it went down better.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
