Arugula!

[irol888 39]

So today I am meeting friends out at a restaurant for the first time since my gastric bypass. I'm nearing 4 weeks post-op and tolerating solid foods and doing really well getting my Protein in each day. I'm preparing before I go to the restaurant and going to drink a Protein Shake before. Planning to order grilled chicken skewers (thai dipping sauce on the side and may be too sweet to use). I want to order the arugula beet salad but not sure about tolerating the arugula since I hear salad isn't doable until after 6 months? Any info?

It's entirely individual but I caution against trying something the first time away from home. Enjoy the outing!

I ate salad at six-7 weeks, you should have an outline or chart for food progression.

I agree with GreenTea, caution always with eating something new when away from home base.

I tolerated lots of Soups at that stage with no issue.
