Green Smoothies

Has any one tried putting Protein Powder in a green smoothie post op as part of the liquid phase?

this is the only doctor that I found that actually recommends it:

I'd like to know the answer to this as well. Great question.

I tried but I can't do Protein powder... The GENEPRO doesn't add anything and I don't feel like a real green smoothie is sweet enough on its own.

I've watched the video that you posted a few months before surgery. He is not an advocate of "protein first" 6 months post op. As a vegetarian, I found this philosophy and his research to back the idea, quite interesting. I am doing further research into the notion of eating vegetables first before doing it myself.

Let me know what you discover. I've been doing a green smoothie the last couple of days and have had no issues. I just make sure that it is very thin.

I'm also a vegetarian. I've always made my own smoothies. I miss my veggies, I've been adding spinach into my purees since I hit the soft foods stage and I will occasionally add a bit of spinach to my smoothies if I'm using the powder and making my own from scratch. Since many green leafy veg also have Protein, I don't have an issue with it.

I'm still losing so I don't see anything wrong with it.
