Any Raw Foodist/vegans/vegetarians Out There?

@ smallvegan, did you do some raw juices post surgery, I'm thinking about adding in some fresh wheatgrass juice and beet and ginger juice for healing. What are your thoughts?

[smallvegan 36]

I didn't actually. If it's ok with your nutritionist, I say go for it! Anything we can do to promote healing it a good idea!

sorry i didnt see this..I had surgery Aug 4th and I am moving to raw 80% over the next week

ok, I'm having a time with the Protein and the amount of food I can take in. The doctor said I can have a salad but I just can't chew it enough that it won't get stuck. I'm going to wait a little longer. I think I have been pushing the food thing a little fast. I might go back a bit to Soup. I ate salmon and spaggetti squash, and of course no matter how much I chew, it sits heavy it my chest.

I'm vegan too, sleeved in February. I've had no problems with it at all, best thing I ever did for myself. I get plenty of Vitamins and Protein in my diet with fresh fruit and vegetables. Sometimes tofu also. i have one or two soy Protein Shakes a day, thinking of switching to hemp protein though. anyone ever try it?

[rdawson 1]

i have. its easily tolorated and works great with green smoothies.< /p>

[an6elic 2]

Great thanks! How does it taste?

[rdawson 1]

it really depends on what i mix it with. its pretty good with green smoothie... spinich pears blueberries etc... alone with soymilk or almond milk it can be kinda strange...

Good to know, thanks!
