I am still on full liquids. Some of the Protein smoothies sound sooooo good. Are They Okay to have on full liquids?

Yup. Just watch the Carb count!

Did you get a post-op dietary guideline from your surgeon????

Agree with Tiffy, you need to cross-check your food guidelines with the recipes. For example, in my full liquids phase there were certain fruits I couldn't have so I had to avoid certain smoothie recipes. Also my plan recommends avoiding Peanut Butter because of the high fat content, so even though a lot of people were adding a tbsp of peanut butter in their smoothies that wasn't something I was allowed to do.

I did get a post op guideline. It didn't mention smoothies though. I can't have Peanut Butter yet either.

My rule of thumb is if it wasn't on my "approved" list, I didn't eat it. The guideline is there for a reason. Mainly, to protect your sleeve. Of course, it's next purpose is to give the necessary information to ensure success.

I developed lactose intolerance and whey intolerance post-VSG so I couldn't do any of that stuff.

if you have a smoothie, you have to make sure there are no chunks, seeds or skins in it.
