Is salad a slider food for you?

Seems to be. I can definitely eat more of it if it's on lettuce. Today was weird though. Had me in the bathroom 30 min after eating

Yes. I can eat close to 2 cups of it maybe including Protein? Maybe a little more.

I only had a few bites and I felt so bloated, for a few hours. I will wait to try it again. It’s really sad because I’ve been craving salad 😔

Yes! I definitely can eat more salad than Soups or chicken. I love salad!

This blows my mind! I can only eat about 3 or 4 bites of salad, so I've stayed away from them unless I'm really craving salad.

salad condenses and slides down easily. I can eat a regular sized plate. I make them low calorie. No weight gain.

This is blowing my mind too because I'm 11 months post op and still can only eat a few bites of salad. I kept trying to eat a salad for lunch at work and I finally just accepted my stomach prefers straight Protein instead. So I'm the goofball in the salad bar line filling a bowl with chicken breast chunks, diced ham, hardboiled egg, and a pinch of dressing :P

Depends on the salad. If it's mostly lettuce and other leafy goodness, it compresses down to nothing when chewed while something loaded down with mushrooms, Beans, broccoli and other more dense, fibrous vegetables it can keep me going for a good while.

Tuesday Tomkitten asked my dietician Roy "When can MOM eat salads with me again? " Roy just gave a rueful laugh and said Not Soon, Not Soon!

@S@ssen@ch I tried salad again today and was able to eat almost 1/2 of a side garden salad (just lettuce and a few cherry tomatoes) at wendys. But I DO have restriction and felt really full.

Thanks @wanda247! I'm sure I'll eventually get there, but right now it feels like the salad fills me up and takes away room from my Protein.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
