Juicing or green protein shakes for post op diet?



Recommended Posts

Hey was just thinking about post op options to add in fresh veggies and fruits. Anyone try juicing or blending in veggies such as a green Protein Shake ? I wonder since it is blended so well from the juicing process into a pureed form, when would this be allowed in which stage? Anyone try this?

The thing about the bypass is that we just don't absorb all we need to absorb, especially from liquids. also, if you do try a green juice, take a TINY TINY sip because your body may decide to instantly dump from it. And you have to be super careful about what fruits and how many are in you juice, because even though it's natural sugar, it will definitely hurt you still. Do you have a nutritionist to ask?

Good question! Like @@Cervidae said it might be a lot of sugar. I used to drink grass clipping smoothies, aka kale. Blahhh! Spinach was always good though. ????

      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?

      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! 😞
