Why eat salads? It fills you up and u don't get Protein? Unless u add meat...

Just saying.

If you eat dark, leafy greens and other vegetables you are getting valuable nutrition not empty calories. You are also eating Fiber which will help the digestive process when your digestion is ready and healed. Head lettuce is empty calories and just filler you need dark green, red and other vegetables for a healthy diet. Obviosly when you are early in this process you want to eat Protein first and foremost and add those vegetables as you are able to tolerate per your MD instructions. But they are part of a long term healthy diet and we all benefit from the nutrition maybe not just early on.

      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.
