I couldn't find a thread like this-apologies if this is a duplicate.

I'd like to see the smoothies wls patients are making. I'm finding a lot of excellent green smoothies online but just *loadeD* with sugar from all the fruit. That said, I don't want to drink spinach juice.

So post your recipes here-thanks!

Half a banana, sliced and frozen (I weigh each banana half before I freeze it and write the weight on the wax paper I wrap it in)

0.5-1 cup Water mixed with a scoop of GENEPRO

1 cup fresh, raw, spinach

.5 tablespoon of chia seeds

sweetener to taste

ice cubes to taste

It is kind of boring on flavor, but I also don’t want a ton of carbs. It doesn’t taste bad, just sort of blah. It ends up being about 150 kcals and 30+ grams Protein. I need to follow this thread for more ideas.

I got a couple of bariatric cookbooks just so I would have ideas for things. There are some great recipes in both of them.PXL_20200917_191308324.jpg PXL_20200917_191314740.jpg PXL_20200917_191329076.jpg PXL_20200917_191358572.jpg PXL_20200917_191410124.jpg PXL_20200917_191421709.jpg PXL_20200917_191524373.jpg PXL_20200917_191530726.jpg

      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!!
