Question:
Has anyone tried tabouli salad?

My family has Lebanoese background and this weekend while visiting them I ate two bites of tabouli. A big no-no! I forgot how it swells up! Has anyone had this problem? Will I ever be able to eat my favorite salad again?    — peggyp (posted on June 23, 2003)

I am 3 mos post op and have been eating tabouli since I was about 7 or 8 weeks post op....and, it goes down great! I can eat it plain or with a bit a of pita. I have not had any problems and hope I remain this fortunate. Good luck to you!

Okay... only eat one bite! But eat it ONLY AFTER your protien!! Yes, you will be able to eat your favorite salads again, but probably only a bite or two... I'm 18 months out and can only eat a bite or two of any salad... I love tabouli, too! It gets better!
