Four weeks out and eating salad like no one's business!



Recommended Posts

I am four weeks out and like the topic title states...I have been eating salad left and right! I would add diced boiled egg, avocado, fish, some cheese and drizzle it with a vinaigrette such as raspberry or balsamic.

Are you a salad lover? I don't have restriction yet, but I have read and heard that many people cannot tolerate

salad after getting fills..

This doesn't sound like a salad to me. My definition of a salad would be lots of raw veggies - lettuce, carrot, mushroom,cucumber,tomato,green or red peppers etc . Adding one type of Protein such as tuna, chicken etc is fine but if the main part of the "salad" is mixed Proteins then what you are actually consuming is a high calorie, high fat meal.

Avo's are good for you but they are high in fat. cheese is high in fat. Egg is fine and so is fish but you don't really need these plus the cheese etc.

It seems these days anything passes as a salad so long as it has a couple of token lettuce leaves in it.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
