Hello aysedeniz ,

How are you handling eating salad, raw vegetables, etc? That salad looks lovely! They can be very difficult to digest. Has your doctor provided any resources regarding diet following surgery? While people may have different experiences, it is common to have a hard time with roughage, which is the part of fiber heavy foods that the body can't digest. (Grains, certain vegetables, seeds, legumes, etc.)
