How long before you were allowed...

salad and fresh fruit? I’m a little over 3 weeks post op, bypass. My surgeon said we will discuss moving to lunchmeat at my next visit in 2 weeks.

But all I crave is fresh fruit and I’d literally kill for a salad. I plan on asking him at my next visit, but I figured I’d run it by the professionals until then ;)

I was allowed soft fruits at 4 weeks, salads at 6 weeks

I don't remember exactly, but I know I didn't have any "real" food for the first month. At three weeks, about all I'd suggest is something like applesauce or something pureed. Definitely wait on the salad . . .

The first month or two isn't much fun, really, but it does pass and it gets better. I can eat just about anything now, although not too much, and obviously there are some choices much better than others!

At 3 weeks I was allowed fresh fruit with no skin so mainly bananas, strawberry’s, blackberries and raspberries. No melons or citrus. And he said no salad for 3-6 months, because it will fill you up but just go thru you to quick. I am counting down the days until I can have a salad.

We are allowed fruit after we hit goal. Protein first, then veggies if still hungry, then fruit.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
