At what point in your weight loss surgery would you venture into raw vegan?

As soon as you can! Even if you can't do full on raw veggies yet, you can do purees and maybe nut butters if you can handle it (early on I couldn't do much fat).

Never.

May I ask why you want to eat raw vegan instead of a mixed vegan diet?

I’ve been fully raw since the day of my surgery (12/19/18).

I have 2 shakes a day with a small amount of fruit, a quarter cup hemp seeds (10g Protein and good fatty acids) and 2 scoops (38g protein) of Sunwarrior raw/vegan/organic Protein Powder (https://goo.gl/uJx891).
I also have purée of various veggies and nuts (like raw sprouted cashews, hemp seeds or pine nuts, zucchini, sun-dried tomatoes, and basil, sea salt, etc.).

I haven’t figured out what I’m going to eat during the soft foods stage but I’ll figure out some good recipes.

The final stage will be easy (I think) as long as you play around with various foods to see what your system can handle.

I think I will be keeping up the protein smoothies forever.

I also include juiced cucumber, celery, kale, baby spinach, sunflower sprouts, and parsley a couple times per day. You need a good masticating juicer but I think it’s worth the cost.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
