Any Raw Foodist/vegans/vegetarians Out There?



Recommended Posts

@ 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?

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!

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?

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
