can anyone eat salad?

I am almost 5 months out and I am dying for a salad but I am terrified to try it.  I have only had cooked veggies so far.  I do well with apples, (no skin) and I have had some Mr. Chicken cole slaw which is very fine cut.  When did anyone else start eating raw veggies like that are in a salad?

I eat it all the time.  I started eating it about two months post op.

I waited 6 weeks, I love salad, I ate one today for lunch. I put fresh cooked chicken and cheese on it yummy

 

I eat salads all the time. I've had no problems with lettuce at all. I don't use alot of lettuce because I add so much protein to my salad, chicken, cheese, beans, etc. good luck when you do decide to try it.

thanks!

I eat it often. I usually eat most of my protein first then have salad so I know I'm not filling up on just salad. LOL

I've been eating it since a few weeks out, it's never given me problems.

I eat salad and cooked and raw veggies all the time.   Every meal I eat has a protein and veggie or fruit component.  I usually leave off any of the carbs, but sometimes I'll have a very small amount of them too.   Salad woks out fine for me.  But I eat my protein first so that I don't get full on the bulky lettuce.

I had big problems with lettuce and cabbage early on, but by the sixth month or so I was fine with salad and raw veggies.  Just beware of "low fat" and "fat free" dressings which often have a lot more sugar and chemical fillers than the full fat varieties... I use a bit of full fat ranch or parmesan dressing (or vinegar and oil) on my salads to make them go down easier and it works for me.

thanks for the info on the dressings, I may not have thought of that
