Why would you want to eat something that has no nutritional value except taste and if you have to cover it with some type of Fluid to make it taste better what's the point.

Sorry maybe if I eat more salads I wouldn't need WLS.

Again sorry Just being a butt head I can't stand salads

I love salads ... but I am almost 5 months post op and for some reason they scare me. I started eating a very small salad w/tuna about 3 months post op. It did not feel right going down so I kind of stopped eating them. PaulB does have a point.... I want to eat my Protein FIRST... Hopefully I will be able to like salads again but for now I have been staying away from them.

Each nutritionist is different as well, they want you to get your Protein in first then veggies and starch after that in that order. Eating a salad with protein kills two birds with one stone. Veggies also keep you fuller during the day. When I had the lap band, to me the salad was a waste of space now I love them with tuna and deli meat. Some can tolerate it, some can't.

Please don't get me wrong with the right ingredients salads can become health and good for you loaded with Protein.

If you like them and can keep them down and get your Protein in go for it

Can't force you. Some people just dont like certain things. I hate Mayonnaise & mustard. Even if I was paid I wouldn't eat it yuck!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
