I am on postop day 3 and I'm on full liquid diet.. Does anyone know if I can have a fruit smoothie with protein powder in it? I will blend it so there's no chunks in it.. My full liquid diet plan days nothing about fruits so just wanted to see if anyone on here knows.. Thanks!

I know my Dr. doesn't allow any fruit at first...too high in carbs. Best to check with the Dr. or your nutritionist,

I wasn't allowed fruit until 3 months post op because of carb content

I'd check with your nut

I wasn't allowed fruit in the first 2 weeks and after that only berries because some fruit has some part which hard to digest. so I would suggest you to stay off them for now.

A typical "fruit smoothie" would be loaded with sugar...which should be kept at a minimum after surgery. My surgeon's guidelines...for life...are to not eat anything that has more than 8 grams of SUGAR (not carbs) per 100 calories in a serving. I'm fairly certain that would exclude fruit smoothies...even with protein powder mixed in.

I was allowed smoothies and was given some fab smoothie recipes from my dietician. Xxx
