I would not sweat it if u can't tol. salad focous on getting protien and other veggies maybe cooked or raw, the nutritionist in my surg. office says that lettuce has a tendency sometimes to stick to the walls of the stoma and creates that stuck that is dreaded.  I have no personal clue as I'm not banded yet.  But hope to be soon. 

thanks yall post surgery I had a salad before every meal  and tonight I tried one I had one small bite and OUCH     other than the salad I can basically eat whatever

head type lettuce was very hard early out - maybe try baby spinach / arugula?   

No go on salad for me also-or shrimp-ugh..both result in discomfort bordering on pain. Rice is a no no but not as bad as those two
Amazing how I miss a nice salad now ...

Madeline me also.  I love shrimp but have developed an allergy last year  booo.  I tried spinach salad I could do it before the fill but after the fill the only way I can tolerate spinach is creamed spinach.    I would love a ice cold glass of water and a hot meal with a good salad.  Of course I would die for a Dr Pepper but certainly not giving into that

I rarely can tolerate salad.  I have to eat it realllllyyyy slow and Majorly chew.....it just doesn't break down well I guess.  There have been days that I could eat it fine though...but not very many.  I miss eating a nice big salad, but then again all the dressing etc. I used to have on it didn't help either..lol....

I can eat cabbage most of the time, and shredded iceberg sometimes...Romaine I have a hard time with...
