LynneB 0 Posted May 2, 2008 I am craving a spinach salad, you know the good ones w/ berries and walnuts and some vinegarette dressing. Or a good chef salad w/ some croutons & blue cheese dressing. I am starting solids on Monday. Are salads hard to digest? Please say NO!! LOL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maziemommy 8 Posted May 2, 2008 I was banded last April. Good luck and great health to you. Just remember- everyone is different. For me.... I have no issues with a spinach salad, but I can't eat ice burg lettuce. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
luluc 6 Posted May 2, 2008 I've been eating salads since going to solids & it's not been an issue. I prefer field greens & spinach to ice berg, but that's more for taste. You might have to play around & try a few items to see what works for you. Congrats on your surgery!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
carol4784 0 Posted May 3, 2008 I was wondering that too. I was banded 4/8/08 and can do "solids" starting this coming Tuesday. I love salads....large salads with lots of veggies made with romaine or spinach, slivered almonds, etc. But I have IBS and have not had a nice big salad for about 6 months....it was just too stressful before) but since April 7 I have not taken my IBS meds......I HAVE NOT NEEDED THEM.:frown: So, looking to start off small next week with a nice green salad and see how that goes.
