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.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
