Why no salads for three months?!?!?!?

Thanks for the advice!

Raw veggies are very hard to digest and they take up valuable space in your tiny stomach that should be used for protein.  We can get all the nutrients from veggies in our multi vitamin.  You can't get protein from a tiny pill.  Your stomach will grow, the further out you get from surgery, and you will be able to add raw veggies then.  Right now your focus needs to be protein and fluids. 

Thanks for the advice!

You can opt for chicken breasts as they are protein rich and consuming chicken's breasts daily helps to loose weight. Well you can visit here to get more information about this.

My plans states I can have salads and raw veggies at 6 weeks!!

Just because you can doesn't mean that you should.  The nutritional content of most of the typical salad "fixings" is pathetic (and that assumes that you use a low calorie dressing on it). Protein first if you want to be successful!

Never said I was going to, just stating that it is aloud. I always do protein first.

"Just because you can doesn't mean that you should." These are wonderful words to live by. 

I was clear for salads at 6 weeks. I'm currently 7 weeks out and have had one for lunch every day this week.

* I should say that I am rny and I havent had any food issues. Everything I have eaten from the very beginning has gone down just fine.

Be very careful with salads.  What you put on them matters.  Some salads have more calories than a Big Mac, with very little nutritional value.  How many of us have tried to lose weight by eating salads before we had surgery?  I never lost weight eating salads because I put all the wrong toppings on a salad, believing I was "eating healthy".

I hope you are supplementing with protein powder.  We should be eating a solid protein with every meal.  I have to eat over 100 grams of protein, daily, to keep my numbers up.  I could never do that eating salads everyday.  Salad will never satiate you the way protein will.  Soon you will find yourself able to eat much larger salads with many more calories and they won't stay with you.  You will feel hunger very quickly after you eat a salad.  

Protein needs to be the focus early out from surgery.  We need to re-think everything we think we know about food.  Salad does not equal healthy.
