Salad
Is salad something you eat on a regular basis? My surgeon warned me that salad has a tendency to get stuck in the anastamosis junction and sometimes has to be gotten out by scope. Has anyone had any problems with this? I am 7mo out and am craving it, I have not had a stitch of lettuce since surgery out of fear...So far I have been extrememly lucky and can eat almost anything except bready stuff and greasy stuff.
I eat it on a regular basis. I don't know why it would get stuck unless maybe you swallow large pieces without chewing it up well. I've never seen anyone post here on OH about having to have it removed via scope, either.

I am 8 months out and been eating salad for the last 3 months..........no problem!
i eat salad all the time. spinach every single day (although it's blended so no way it's going to get stuck) and a salad 3-5 times a week.

I was able to eat it after 3 or 4 months but had a problem about a month ago.
I ordered a salad buffet and took a little lettuce combo with egg, and some of the goodies. I spent most of the evening in the bathroom trying to get it up. I had a terrible stomach ache and all the dumping symptoms. I was fine on the way home but salad doesn't look so good any more.
