I want salad so bad!!! I don't know why but I have been craving salad for over a week. I tolorate all veggies I have tried but I have not dared to try lettuce of any sort. When is it safe to eat salad and is everyone tolorating it?

Alt Weight Loss Surgery Insurance
Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery.
Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.

i was told not to do it til 6 months and even then VERY little. (the gas might be an issue) plus its not really worth the space it takes up. each doc is different though. you could always try beano!!

My doc and nutritionist said 3 months unless you have had problems with your pouch it may take up to 6 months to tolerate. And guess what.........today I had it for the first time at Red Lobster! I did just fine, not a problem at all, but my pouch has never been too picky. See what your doc says, it's not a bad thing to crave!

I am 11 months out and tried salad a few times and have decided not to eat it ever again. I eat it and than feel like I have the flu for the next 24 hours.

It was about 6 months as well for me. I ate it with Chicken salad and maybe had 2-3 bites of the lettuce. Man did it sure taste good though! LOLOL

At my 3 month checkup my nut said to add lettuce or tomato to my sandwich. I've made small salads since then and not had any trouble, but I don't have a picky pouch.

This is somthing I think we all craved for some reason. I think I was about 3 months out and ( tried) to have bite or two. You have to chew it so well so that makes you very tired quick. I finally would just take a piece of crouton and chew it then tomato etc... Salad fills you up so fast so you have to have the protein with it because of that. The six month mark is a good idea because of all the things the tummy wont handle and the space of it all.
