Salad and the lap band

Just curious if anyone has ever had trouble eating salads. I haven't tried it yet; didn't know if lettuce would be a problem with the lap band or not.   I don't get my first fill until Nov 20th and this is actually the first week since my surgery on Oct 3rd that I have been hungry so I am looking for some different things to eat. I am definitely on low carbs but need some variety.

I can eat salads in fact Dr. Rodriquez his speech everytime is chicken, fish and salads that what he wants his patients to eat.   But I eat salads anyway doesnt bother me.

havent tried it.............   i am gonna call u soon as life settles down!!!!!!!!

That's  fine Dawn I know youare busy.  I will be swamped until cheerleading is over too. I love working with my girls.. but it's very tiring. Did you read my respnse to your post about falling off the wagon??  I will check the board today to see if there are any jobs coming up at the schools. It is nice to work here when you have kids and you are off when they are... Ilove my summers too!!!

I can do salad as long as I go slow.  I can't eat veggies off a veggie tray anymore though which breaks my heart! 

One of my favorite meals for going out to eat is Chili's mesquite chicken salad.  I eat most of the goodies off the top and then go for the lettuce.

Oh yeah, chop up your lettuce a little finer than normal when you make it at home as I have heard that people that do have trouble with it do this and it helps.

I have ate salads with no problem. Just go slow.

thanks everyone, I may try one at lunch today.  I guess i am in what they call Bandster hell because this past week I have been starving!!!
