Salad for the first time since surgery...11 weeks out.



Recommended Posts

I had salad for the first time since surgery and tolerated it just fine. As a matter of fact, I am tolerating just about everything well, except breads, tortillas and Pasta. I have heard others say they were unable to tolerate salad. Just curious, What has been your experience?

I'm 6 months out and salad does not sit well with me. I can eat just about anything else. I can have a little bit and I'm fine, but I do miss sitting down to a nice cold salad with veggies.

I ate salad fine with no problems, I ate 2 spoons of macaroni last night and it didnt sit well with my tummy. It came up and yes i ate it really slow :(

I have had salad once, it was so good and it went down fine and no problems at all!! my first time throwing up :(

salad (greens) fills me up way too fast. That leaves me feeling unsatisfied . The "Protein first" mandate is a must for me. My body is keenly aware if I skip out on my proper nutrition.

I do much better if I slice a cucumber or Tomato and then add a lettuce leaf, cheese or chicken to that. I have yet to find anything that I can not tolerate . There are several things that I do not crave anymore, like bread, Pasta and fancy mixed salads. I will indulge in them from time to time but one or 2 bites and I'm done.

      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?
