It depends upon what's on your surgeon's program and what you personally can tolerate. I was having small salads with some leftover meat tossed in with some chopped spinach, Tomato, avo, pepper and scallion after a month, but YMMV.

I started with iceburg lettuce at about 3 months and slowly added romain into the mix. At about 4 months out, I was 100% romain and began adding spinach slowly. 5 months out, adding kale, which, is extremely hardy. Kale was a slow progression, for sure and of course, I don't ever have 100% kale salads, so ...

You wouldn't think salads are that difficult to digest, but they sure are.

I just had my first salad last week and Im almost 4 months out. I had heard other stories about how salads made them run for the bathroom and honestly, thats what I was hoping for but no :( I had 2 salads that week (a 1/2 ounce of chopped turkey and a half an egg on it). I think I may have a sleeve of steal because nothing that Ive eaten has ever bothered me and Ive never thrown up. I can say that avocados make me run for the bowl though :) Sorry for the TMI but poop gets me excited lol.

Ooh! salad sounds so good. I am just one week post op, which means that I'm on liquids. Anything sounds good.

I'm glad to hear that salad did not get the runs or nausea or anything like that, BunnyK. This gives me hope!

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
