pkron 10 Posted July 4, 2019 I am 2 weeks post op from my VSG and am just starting the pureed/fork mashed soft foods stage. I'm spending the 4th at a club with the BEST chopped salads. Is it safe to eat a proper portion (Currently told to eat at most half a cup) of chopped salad if I have them chop it extra extra fine? Just wondering.

Remember your "Why". As in, "Why, did I have surgery." And embrace that "why." Love on it hard. Memorize it. Focus on it. Keep it near to you. You can DO this!! 2 Nay143 and alex76 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KCgirl061 1,532 Posted July 4, 2019 Agree with Fluffy - your sleeve is not going to like that salad at all, no matter how little the portion is. 2 alex76 and FluffyChix reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mickeygmg 25 Posted July 8, 2019 I am one month out. I love a good salad. Hard to believe, being heavy and all. But... yum. I am craving salad more then ever. But, I havent given in. Not only was I told that I am not ready for raw vegetables, but that I need to focus on protien first. It's more important, right now, to focus on protien. I wish you the best. 1 FluffyChix reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
