Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass |  Salads?
I am curious about eating salads, some people say salads are really hard to eat because of the lettuce. Any one have input for me

Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery. Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.  |

I'm at 10 months and I have an occasional salad and don't have any difficulties, but then, I can also eat steak and other hard to eat foods so I might not be the best gauge. I don't think you should try salads as early out as you are, you need all your space for protien, but yes, in the future you can eat them again.

I started adding a small amount of salads couple months ago. It works fine for me. If we go out, I may get a small dinner salad and eat half of it, but as much as I enjoy a good salad, I don't let it get in the way of my protein. One good thing about eating a salad is that if you do your job chewing it down to a minimum, there isn't all that much volume to fill the pouch. CT

I may have a little salad, but honestly, I'm after the protein....lettuce is non caloric and takes up space I'd rather fill with protein....! (and I liked salads for all the bad stuff we loaded on them....bacon, egg, and RIVERS of ranch dressing LOL)

As for me I eat salads at least three times a week. What I normally do is chop it up in small pieces (very small) and add chicken or tuna in it for my protein. That works for me.

I eat salad about 3-4 times a month, and only with meat. I eat the meat first then go for the salad. Chicken is the best with me...I have tried steak in it, but it takes FOREVER to chew it up enough. I love salad though!

I started salad around 3 months out (bites here and there) and now at 6 months I eat them pretty regular. Never had any issue- I just make sure to get one w/ a lot of protein on it like chicken or tuna and I mostly eat the protein. I just love salad!

I occassionally eat a salad and have had no problems. I wouldn't eat a whole lot of lettuce though, but everyone handles things differently.
