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.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
