When Can I eat salad?

Hello everyone!  I am on my first week of soft foods but I am craving a Caesar Salad.  When is that allowed?  I am meeting with Kelly on Thursday so I can always double check, but just wondering! 

As far as I know I was not allowed to try salad until I brgan my regular foor diet (6 weeks out). However, my dad is almost 2 years out and is unable to eat salad because he cannot chew it enough...it make his pouch REALLY angry. So, I would check with your nutritionist and take it slow at first. Hope this helps!! Morgan

i had sum seafood salad tonight ;)  il hav a bite for ya :)

I think I was about 6 weeks out.  I can't remember for sure, but I do know I annoyed the heck of Kelly because I must of asked a million times when I could eat salad.  I love it!!  You'll probably have to wait and ask her for sure though. Kerri

I was told to wait a minimum of 6 weeks before I could eat any type of lettuce.  The first time that I had some lettuce it did not agree with my pouch but I have not had any issues since that time.  The suggestion my NUT gave me was to stay away from iceberg lettuce and try to eat the darker greens for more nutrients.

I think I tried salad about 2.5 months out.  I had no problem with it, and I have had a problem with just about everything!!  Good luck!!  xoxo, Katie
