I am two weeks out and am looking forward to the following weeks and getting back to real food. Funny thing is I am looking forward to salads. I was wondering how much salad do you eat? I know about the 2 - 4 ouches of Protein and carbs but how do you measure salad? Thanks for the input.

I'm not sure how to measure it. I haven't gotten to that point yet. But, my nutritionist told me that some people have difficulty eating salad post-band and have PB'ing. It would be interesting to see how many people on here can actually eat salad without problems.

salad hadn't bothered me post-surgery. I was able to eat two cups easily. All that changed last night with my third fill. I was supposed to have it last week; but had lost too much weight the week before. This time they added quite a bit of Fluid, so I was done with my salad after only a couple bites. The tomatoes went down better, but the mushrooms were a definite NO! Everyone is different. I recommend a salad with chicken or other Protein in it. Eat most of the protein towards the beginning of the meal. Your body will tell you when you are done. Also, a little hint; I add non-fat milk to my dressing to thin it out. That way it moistens more of the lettuce and makes it easier to eat without adding extra fat and calories.

      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?
