Raw veggies / smoothies

[GreenTealael 25,544]

So I was in whole foods and got a sweet and mellow smoothie which has raw spinach, I totally forgot I can't have raw veggies yet. Anyone know if it's a big deal since its pulverized so finely?

When was your surgery, Tealael?

[Creekimp13 5,841]

Your profile shows your surgery was in November. I was sleeved in December and have absolutely no food restrictions per my doc and nutrtionist. I've been eating raw veggies for weeks. I think you'll be fine:)

I'm weirdly curious about this...does anyone else have veggie restrictions 3-4 months out?

It's bizarre how different the different programs are.

Salads are 3 months for me. I always throw spinach in my morning smoothie pre-surgery, and I didnt think to ask my nutritionist if I could continue after surgery. Hmmm....

My program is cleared for everything after 6 weeks

[Creekimp13 5,841]

Mine, too. I've been munching on all my favorite veggies, seed, nuts, the works. So far no issues....long may that last:)

My program cleared me for veggies etc at 4 months.

[GreenTealael 25,544]

My team clears me at 4-6 months depending on the progress of the person
But... I was not ready
My stomach has been churning since I had it

[GreenTealael 25,544]

I will be 4 months out in March

If they are pureed there is pretty much no problem except for the amount of carbs in veggies and fruits. My nut doesn't want me doing smoothies because I could end up putting in a TON of sugar into my diet and that's a killer for me. So no smoothies due to calorie and sugar restrictions, not digestive restrictions.

My program indicates no raw veggies until I am 8 weeks post-op. I think because the spinach in your smoothie was pulverized you should be okay.
