Nutribullet for post-op fluid phase



Recommended Posts

I'm a fair few months away from getting my sleeve (October 2015) and was thinking of possibly getting a nutribullet for the post op Fluid phase, that way I can have vegetables and raw nuts for Protein but in complete fluid form and was just wondering did anybody else use this for that phase?

I have a Ninja (same idea). I used it a ton during recovery to puree Soups. I still use it for shakes.

personally I bought the nutria ninja the blades are better ( the nutria bullet has a problem with blades chipping and leaving metal in your drink.) One thing is you mentioned using raw nuts for Protein after surgery?? Maybe you should ask your nutritionist, since nuts, ground up are not liquid, they are still solid food and will tear up your sleeve and digestive tract . By the way Vegetable Protein is normally very high in non-soluble Fiber which may cause you problems as well. There is a reason why nutritionists have you use whey Isolate and not hemp or soy protein, they do not digest well in the short time they are in your sleeve.

Thanks for your post, like I said I'm still quite away from surgery and am needing a lot of advice, yours made a lot of sense to me with points that I will bring up to the nutritionist

      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! 😞
