Does anyone have trouble with eating salad?

Sometimes my stomach doesn't like lettuce, although it has become more tolerant as time has passed. My stomach hates salad dressing though and any form of oils, so I have to make sure that I order or make my salads without the dressing on them in most instances.

Lettuce in particular seems to be an issue for some people - who knows why, but it's just one of those YMMV things. I generally use chopped spinach instead of lettuce for its' somewhat better nutritional profile; I've been having salads with a little meat in them since around the end of the first month, The thing to do is to try the various components one at a time to see where the problem is, and avoid that food for now and then try it again in a few weeks.

I tried a salad today (lettuce and spinach mixed). I've been craving salad since my surgery (March 10). Unfortunately it was uncomfy to eat so for now it's a no go for me. ????. Will try again in a few weeks. I'm sad, salad is one of my favorite foods, especially in the summer!

I couldn't eat salad till 6-8 months out. I still get a little gassy and bloated if I eat too much lettuce at once, but I've kind of figured out how much I can tolerate and stick with that. The Caesar salad I used to get from my local deli as a single meal now lasts 4-5 meals.

      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.
