Sensuousness

OMG, a marvelous crunchy sensuous salad. That's what was for dinner. Gosh how I missed crunchy. I used the bag o' salad that had mixed greens with a wee bit of red cabbage and carrots. I chopped it all into small pieces. I put some freshly grated cheddar cheese on top. Then some crispy bacon crumbled. A bit of cooked chicken diced. A slice of deli ham chopped. Topped with some Maries Caesar dressing. OMG, full of texture and flavor just popping around in my mouth. My first salad in over 2 months (I'm 2 months post-op tomorrow). Every bite was worth waiting for! A very sensuous experience. Kathy

Kathy, I'm so craving salads! But, my nutritionist wants me to wait 3 more weeks. How much could you eat? Lori

It might have been about 1 cup. Of course that is fluffed up. Compressed, much less. It felt great. Absolutely. Kathy

That sounds absolutely fabulous! I am going to try for a picnic I am going to this weekend - Thanks!

Why are we not suppose to eat salads? I know not now at least.But why? Rosie 329/382/?

Rosie, I think it is because raw veggies are harder to digest and our innards are still healing. My doc said all veggies must be cooked and to avoid seeds. Barb.. wondering if innards is a word...lol

INNARDS? Never heard of it thanks for the info. I am dying for a chicken salad and am afraid to try one. Roser

Mmmmmm.... Two and a half more weeks for me... I'm "allowed" at 12 weeks but my Nut said to try it right before my 12-week follow up to see how it goes so we can talk about it at my appt... I am SO dying for a salad...

I've been craving salad for about 2 weeks. Isn't it weird that we all seem to be missing the same things at the same time? I like salad, and I always have, but I very rarely ever craved it. I hope it lasts!

That sounds delish! But, no salads for me until August 24th. I like my salads with a bit of corn, hearts of palm, and black olives, but I don't know if I can have that....
