Any Raw Foodist/vegans/vegetarians Out There?



Recommended Posts

@ smallvegan, did you do some raw juices post surgery, I'm thinking about adding in some fresh wheatgrass juice and beet and ginger juice for healing. What are your thoughts?

I didn't actually. If it's ok with your nutritionist, I say go for it! Anything we can do to promote healing it a good idea!

ok, I'm having a time with the Protein and the amount of food I can take in. The doctor said I can have a salad but I just can't chew it enough that it won't get stuck. I'm going to wait a little longer. I think I have been pushing the food thing a little fast. I might go back a bit to Soup. I ate salmon and spaggetti squash, and of course no matter how much I chew, it sits heavy it my chest.

I'm vegan too, sleeved in February. I've had no problems with it at all, best thing I ever did for myself. :) I get plenty of Vitamins and Protein in my diet with fresh fruit and vegetables. Sometimes tofu also. i have one or two soy Protein Shakes a day, thinking of switching to hemp protein though. anyone ever try it?

it really depends on what i mix it with. its pretty good with green smoothie... spinich pears blueberries etc... alone with soymilk or almond milk it can be kinda strange...

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
