Does anyone eat salads yet?

As a matter of fact, I'm eating one right now! I've gotten into a habit of going to Food City on my lunch break and fixing my own salad from their salad bar. I make sure and get the turkey, cheese, and eggs so that I can at least say that the meal had some protein. It is the one food that I seem to still be able to enjoy eating. By the way, love the new pic...you look marvelous!

I would check with your doc. Im not approved for salads yet. ~April~ lap rny 5/13/05 21 yrs old, 5'1 231/166.5/120

Check with your doc. Mine allowed me to start green leafies 4 weeks out. You need to chew like a madwoman though. I really enjoy ceasar salad with my own dressing and spinach salad and eat a lot of both. Mom Bear

Talk to your doc...I was cleared at 3 weeks post op to have salads...That was and is the biggest thing that I crave. Like everyone else has said, remember to chew!! Becky 5/17/05 310/223.5/155

Sue, I seem to do well with all vegetables in a salad except lettuce! So, now I make "greek-like" salads, with cucumbers, tomatoes, carrots, green onions, zucchini, green peppers, then I put fat free balsamic vinagrette on it and add feta cheese and chicken. I love it. When I have any lettuce, it just doesn't seem to chew up enough. Lori 384/292/170

I've been eating salads for awhile but I have had no problems with foods.

Salad is actually one of the easiest foods for me to eat. It goes down well and stays down! I find myself ordering caesar salad alot. I crave it! I was cleared to have salad at 6 weeks, but waited a little bit longer.
