i want a salad!!! ( 6 weeks post op)

[Guest guest]

I am craving a salad so bad i cant stand it! Ive been wanting to fix

a 7 layer salad for the last week. Lettuce(or spinach), peas, nuts,

minced onion(dehydrated), real bacon bits, parmesean cheese and mayo

slightly sweetened with splenda. I prefer to leave out the celery and

boiled eggs. Although i wouldnt mind eating just the yellow in the

salad...hehehe. Can i please have this??? Is it too early for salad.

My doctor is a firm believer in getting all my protein from real food

not drinks. But i also do the drinks anyway. They make me feel

better. Back to the salad.....is it too early for salad????

All I can do is tell you what happened to me at 4 months out I just had to have a salad so I did and 6 hours later I was well it was awful I swear I was having a heart attack and of all the times for my girlfriend to stop by I was so ashamed the only relief I could get was crawl around all over the house on all 4rs In my opinion it was the worst dumping I have ever had I have dumped 3 times all on healthy food (LOL) That healthy food will be the death of me (LOL) My husband and i go shopping and we pass the salad isle he does this everytime Honey you want a salad ? he said he likes to watch me turn white (LOL) I have 80 more pounds till I reach my gaol then we will see if that little joke of his is so funny (LOL) Like I said it happened to me it night not to you but when I read your post I think I turned white and felt I had to write Talk about behavior modification (LOL) cuddles_1960

I gotta say, the description of that salad sounds repulsive to me. I'm a California girl, so when I think salad...I just think of a bunch of fresh greens and veggies with a little balsamic, and maybe a smidge of some kind of wonderful cheese, like chevre. Blech. I hate mayonnaise. Dehydrated onion? Yikes. I can't imagine.

I think greens are quite fibrous, and thus a bit hard on the healing digestive track. I'm hoping at my next appointment I'll be able to have some salad, because I reallly love it. We'll see.

Robynn, they told us at our 12 week apt that we were

free to eat the normal stuff which included salad. I

have not eaten any because I don't like salad or salad

dressing. I did have salad last week and found it

hard to chew the lettuce up appropriately.

Take care and I hope you are getting some rest.

I eat salads in spite of the fact that I was told to wait until 12

weeks..I'm almost at 8 weeks and eating salad since about 5 weeks out.

Obviously they give me no trouble but you do have to chew well as in

all foods and try a little at a time.

I eat salads, too. I had my first one about 6 weeks post op. I haven't

had any problems with them although I do find myself not feeling full

off them. If I add chicken or shrimp then I get full, but it almost

seems like I could eat the greens endlessly.
