Lettuce, tomato, etc.

I know it's way early, but when was everyone here able to start eating lettuce tomatoes and other raw salad veggies after gastric bypass?

[KimTriesRNY 1,853]

My instructions were six-seven weeks.

Same for me! (around six weeks)

My surgery was 6/13/18 and when I went for a follow-up on 7/26/18 they said I could begin lettuce and Tomato. I'm still very careful with any raw veggies and don't eat them often. They don't always feel great.

I was able to do soft lettuce (baby greens) at one month post-op; most vegetables at 3 months post-op.

That just seems so long!

By 3 months I was eating all veggies and fruits. I craved salad and veggies.

And I'm gonna yet, I just hoped to be on the Express 🚀Line, not a bumpy local 🚝that stops for every goat, chicken and litter on the train tracks.😧💦I want to be a Big Strong Bypass Baby👶 like all the others here!

I’m 18 months out from surgery and raw veggies are iffy. They fill me up with just a few pieces and feel stuck. I used to eat salads 4-5 days a week but rarely now.

I was told no raw veggies until 3 months out ...that’s when I get to regular foods.
