I was very surprised to find a very odd thing that goes down well...lettuce salad! I was told NOT to eat lettuce after surgery so I didn't for quite a while. I ate some before radiation started...but not since then. Hubby had a salad last night and it looked SO good...I took a piece of lettuce and it chewed up and slid down...especially with dressing! :o) So...I had one for lunch today! I have eaten all 3 meals today...cooked veggies, salad and part of a baked potato and soggy breakfast cereal.

The salad certainly amazed me that I can do that tho!
