Anyone eating salad?
I have been for about 1 week. I missed it so much. I am ok as long as I CHEW CHEW CHEW!!! a couple times I have not chewed well and I was uncomfortable for about 20 minutes. I have been putting cheese (FF/Shredded) and hard boiled eggs with it. One time I did crab meat (very high in protein), but it did not go down so well. Hope that helps!! :)
I've been eating salad since about 4.5 weeks post op. It is one of my favorite things to eat post op. I use lettuce, some 2% shredded cheese, some type of protein (usually deli meat), and light Ranch dressing. Occasionally I've put a sprinkle of sunflower seeds on it (but have decided lately that I don't need those calories). I've probably eaten more salads than anything else since surgery, yogurt has probably been a close second. I haven't had any problem with salad foods except possibly tomatoes, not sure but I don't think my pouch likes those too much, pickles either (although I don't put those on salads). Glad you finally had one and that it went ok.
I ate some guacamole salad once since surgery. I didn't have any problems. Actually I haven't had problems with any food until last night. I still find it very difficult at this point to get any veggies or fruit in because I am so focused on my protein. Maybe in another month or so that will change.
FYI- Be careful with pepperoni. I ate the inside of a lean pocket last night. It made me very sick. I got the foamies first and then threw up. Not a pleasant experience.
