My surgeon doesn't allow salads/crunchy veggies until 4 months post op.

Wow, that would be hard. I can't live without a salad with lemon and seasoning

I tried at 1 month, didn't work. 2 months, no luck!! Last week - almost 3 months I ate a bison salad from Ted, avacodos and tomatoes :). I could only do a few bites :)

Adding the Protein to the veggies kills two birds with one stone. When I had the lap band they were a waste of space today I love them. Protein and veggies!!!

My Dr. Said your insides are not ready to work hard enough to digest raw veggies and fruit for 4 months. Let your stomach heal, then try the raw stuff.

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

Just saying.

My dietician said that salads are empty calories which only fill u up. So then u will not have enough room for your Protein. I was told I can introduce salads at 12 weeks post op.

surgery date: 7/30/12

That was my understanding as well. But each surgeon is different, as to what they want us to eat or stay away from.

      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.
