Anyone else have problems with salad?

Salad is another thing I was told by my nutritionist to avoid for some months - I forget how many - maybe a year? Lisa

Hi Lisa. Thanks for telling me that! Reminds me I need to make an appointment with my NUT. I haven't seen her in a while and we definitely need to discuss a few things - like salads and things to order when eating out. Up till recently I've not had many problems but that's no longer the case. Although, my surgeon's office cleared me to start trying new foods to see what I can tolerate - within reason, of course.

I have problems w/ raw veggies in general. My 1st day on solids, I hadn't looked at my dietary guidelines closely enough and didnt read the warnings about salads etc. I tried a snow pea - that was some horrible pain there...I evenutally managed to get it up and out the way it went in and all was right w/ the world again. I've been to a few receptions etc. w/ salads since then. I've found I can take the cucumber slices (usually only 1 slice) off, remove the skin, cut it into tiny pieces and mix i****sp or so of dressing and some salt and pepper and it goes right now. Thats the only raw veggie I have had so far though. I'm a little nervous about salads - though technically I am not supposed to even try them until next week (the 2 month mark).

Hi Patricia... I too, have problems with raw veggies in general. Maybe that's why the salad is not my friend. I'm hoping to be able to have some eventually though. Hope you are able to tolerate it once you are cleared to have it again. Susan
