I would wait. I had surgery on 8/4 and just started salads 2 weeks ago. I have heard some can't tolerate them until 6 mos. out.

I would wait. I am almost 9 months out and if I eat a salad, I have to be very careful. I think its the texture for me. Contact your NUT, better to be safe than sorry.

I never really wanted one....lettuce is non caloric and just takes up space....a lot of people here eat them with grilled chicken for the protein....but I like my salads fun...bacon, eggs, croutons and DRIPPING with ranch. Since having surgery, I rarely eat salads.....
I would check with your doctor's office....I wasn't allowed uncooked/raw veggies for a while...you aren't healed yet and these items CAN cause bowel blockage (read=VERY BAD).....

I would definitely wait. I dont think you're far enough out yet. Check with your surgeon's office though to make sure.

you need to wait - as kathy said lettuce is non-caloric and just takes up space. you need to be focusing on protein. i am 6 months out and very seldom eat lettuce, maybe a few bites, but that wasn't until around 4 months out. raw vegetables are hard on your new little pouch.

They are all right you should wait! Sorry you prob. wanted someone to say go ahead,lol. I think at around 6 months I was cleared to try salads and my NUT said to chew chew chew lettuce until it is like water in your mouth. Be careful it will all fall into place you are early out. Kathy
