Anybody had salad yet?

I've really been craving a nice green salad, but I've heard that lettuce is hard to digest and we should wait a couple of months. Any of you July folks tried it yet??? Bonnie B 272/255/215/130

Hi Bonnie, OMG are you kidding? All I eat is salad. I cut it up really small and totally enjoy it. I've been eating salad for almost 1 month now and I had surgery on July 6th. My hubby too and his surgery was July 18th. Try it. I love Wendy's Mediterian salad with low fat honey dressing. McDonalds is great too.!! Good Luck and enjoy!!! Cheri

Bonnie I know what you mean LOL I was dying for a salad, just this past w/e I hit my 6 week point and finally had a salad, I cut it up small and chewed till it was almost nothing. It never tasted so good, I added some roast turkey to it for some protein. yum... Good Luck Lori M 7/25/05

I love it and crave it but I haven't dare eat a salad yet. However I have problems keeping my food down even at 7 weeks post-op. Visit me at my website: http://p084.ezboard.com/bletstalkaboutweigh****chers

Hi Bonnie, I am right in front of you and have been doing well with my weight loss. I often go to Wendy's for a small chili and a small side salad. I eat the chili first, then the salad. I cut it up and chew well. I have never had a problem with it. I usually can't fini**** but it satisfies the craving! I did get the side Cesaer sadad ONCE, need I say more. Good luck on your journey!

I've NEVER had a problem digesting salad. It's the ONE thing I digest very well. Therefore, whenever I eat out, that's what I get. Sandy

I just had a salad tonight with lettuce trio, onions, mushrooms, tomatos and cheese. I had regular dressing (vidalia onion poppyseed), should have had a low fat one. I feel fine and I had it over an hour ago. Pam w

I was told by the surgeon not to eat salad for a couple of months....However, I had to be honest and tell him that I had been eating salad, cucumbers, small tomatoes etc. I am 8 weeks tomorrow. He told me to be careful and not eat the stems, but to chew, chew, chew. So I do, do, do! I eat them whenever I go out! Enjoy! Anjanette

I went a couple weeks ago to the Olive Garden and had about 1/4 cup of their salad. I also dipped a SMALL piece of a breadstick into Alfredo sauce. Yummy! My mother and I ordered the "Tour of Italy" and spilt it. We took home the leftovers and ate on it for 3 DAYS!! I love being a "cheap" date!! LOL Hugs, Nicole 295/258/150?
