I suffered from self-induced food paranoia. Which is to say I was so afraid of breaking the stiches, or rupturing the pouch that I stayed on liquids for three weeks, and then the soft foods for another month and half. I could absolutely visualize the pouch just breaking under the strain of 'too much' so I followed an evenmore restrictive plan. My fear of tearing it was larger than my desire for real food.
But I believe I didnt have salad until about four months out. Because of my surgeon saying the same thing about fruits and veggies.
