Kimmy in MD Posted June 9, 2008 Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 I am really craving a wonderful salad. When am I able to start eating salad again? Can I start as soon as I finish the creamy soup stage or should I wait a bit because lettuce is hard to digest? Thanks, Kim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MamaMichelle Posted June 9, 2008 Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 My first meal after the 3 weeks on liquids was a salad and I was fine! Dr. Romero told me that because salads are filled with water that if you chew them as a bandster should they decrease in size a lot so it can pass through the band easily, because of this you can actually eat a lot of salad in one sitting so go easy on the dressing... and don't assume that because you can eat a lot of salad your don't have any restriction, that's what I thought and a day or two later when I tried chicken I couldn't eat much of it at all!

jena Posted June 9, 2008 Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 And don't forget, eat your protein FIRST. If I was having a salad, I would have my protein in it, for instance grilled chicken or steak, hard boiled eggs and maybe a little cheese. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
