Everyone's plan is different. What does yours say? Mine said six weeks but it still didn't sit well with me till maybe 4-6 months.

Initially (and this is my personal thought) salad isn't the best thing to eat early on only because your stomach is still recovering, will be tiny with the swelling and you need Protein before salad. I eat salad now after 15 months and really enjoy it but there are times that i can't eat much, maybe a couple of bites after I get the Protein in, on the plate.

Go by what your team says, as I am sure there will be lots of differing thoughts here

On my plan, that is this week (Week 7), but I am going to stay away from them for a while because they will take up valuable real estate and not offer much in return. (Salads were a staple of my six month pre-op diet, but they just won't fit in at the moment...)

What does your plan say? Every plan is different.

At week 5, I was approved for all foods as long as I tolerated them.

      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?
