Hi new to the forum and also my new eating ls. I was wondering her did everyone start eating a little lettuce? I know what my dr has said but I know everyone is different. Please advice.

I was allowed lettuce at 1 month out. No hard or crunchy veggies though for me for awhile longer. What does your nutritionist say?

I started to eat lettuce on my 3rd week. It was warm and minced under fat free refried beans! :) No problem at all.

My surgery was 4/25 and my surgeon said I could start eating salad versus waiting the 6 mths bc I tolerate everything else well so far.

Left the band and rocking with RNY.
They say I have an eating disorder but I say, I have my eating in order.

I'm 9 months out almost and haven't tolerated lettuce very well so far. I do crave a salad but only if it's drenched in ranch dressing. Guess I will never know what that tastes like again! I do, however, make green smoothies with loads of spinach and that goes down great!

I'm not sure when I would have been allowed to eat lettuce. But I still haven't. Someone will have to get me pregnant first.

Couldn't tolerate it for nearly a year, but fine now if I chew like crazy.

I started eating lettuces, spinach and other raw veggies 3 months post op with no issues. I love my big daily salads. Today, I ate spinach, grape tomatoes, sugar snap peas and 4 oz grille salmon all tossed together with Walden Farms Zero calorie honey Dijon dressing and lists of cracked black pepper. Yummy.
