For some reason salads scared me... my concentration was getting my Protein in FIRST. My surgeon was big on protein first. I tried salad about 4-5 months post op and it did not go down very well. I also loved my salads and now I'm just not into them, my taste buds have changed BIG TIME !!!

I love eating salads. However the firs few times I noticed that creamier Salad Dressing made me sick.

I think I was around 6 weeks when I was allowed to start, maybe 8. They have been a regular part of my diet since that point. No problems at all, info use a fat free dressing and typically have turkey, cheese, and boiled egg whites on them.

I started having salad at 7 weeks once I was moved to regular diet. I do put mozzarella cheese and chopped hard boiled egg on top and eat that first to make sure I get my Protein in. I do find that I can eat quite a bit of salad (more than other foods), must be the consistency. I usually have Italian or balsamic dressing so I haven't tried any creamy dressings yet.

      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.
