Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass  |  Is it too soon for salads?  I never have cared for salads...but I have been craving them so much. SOOO right now as I type I em enjoying a chicekn and lettuce, tomato and red pepper salad with Red Pepper & Sun Dried Tomatoes Dressing. It is sooooo good. I have two books that say yes and the othe say no about having salads before 6 months. I am 12 weeks out. How is everyone else dealing with salads and what kind?

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.  |

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass |  Sorry to say that at 10 mos out I still cannot have lettuce without really feeling/getting sick. Not as badly or as quickly as before, but still don't handle the lettuce well at all. |

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass    | Well, my paperwork said wait til 6 months but to be honest I've had a leaf or two here or there. I think the only issue is the possibility of gas, but if its cut up small and you chew very well i dont see any other issues....i'm dying for a salad myself but i know a whole servig might push me over the edge lol.

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | I was allowed to have salad starting at 7 weeks. I've been eating them regularly since then and have never had a problem. Your salad sounds yummy. I'm going to have to try that combo.

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | thanks ladies, I did try my salad and had a little over 1/2 cup. No problems at all and it was so good and so cold and I ate it slowly and chewed it well. I am just nervous as to whether to make it a regular part of my diet. But for someone who didn't eat salads before ,it was actually good and refreshing. Thank you all for the input.

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | Hi Donna, you and I are surgery buddies--Mine was on Mar. 29, 2007--I also have had no trouble with salads, but I guess each of us is different, so everybody do as your Dr. says!!

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | I agree with everyone else, I can have salads and don't have a problem with them, my nut just warns me to make certain I get my protein in first. Roz
