So I am a complete hater of all things salad. The only items in a salad that I do like are the croutons and carrots. All lettuce is as tasty to me as going out and grazing in the yard, and tomatos, cucumbers, olives, etc may as well be considered the devil to me! So, that being said, am I really screwed with weight loss surgery and will be "forced" to like these things, or are their alternatives?

Anyone else here really despise salads? If so, what have you done?

You're actually all set. Salad is a filler for people with normal stomachs. Our focus needs to be on protein first and then a few veggies if you have space left.

yay! Thanks Bedhead for that answer. I'm excited about that.

Bedhead, that may be the greatest answer to any question I have had yet! Thanks!

I'm 14 months post-op and I rarely eat salad--too few nutrients and it makes me feel funny inside.

Yep, same here, I rarely eat salads although unlike you, I do enjoy them There is nothing wrong with sticking with the rule, protein first carbs second.

I absolutely LOVE salad. Pre-op I could have had salad for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Now 4 months post-op, I stay away from it because I can only eat a few bites and that just annoys me. So, you're lucky you don't like it

I am not a big salad eater either, so great news for me!!!

Bad news is I love carbs.
