Can I have tofu smoothies or fruit smoothies for Protein? Any recipe? Thank you

I do not know what type of surgery you had but if you are in week 2 post-op after surgery, a Protein shake is a much better choice. smoothies even those that do not add sugar contains quite a bit of natural sugar and as a result calories. The weight loss phase is relatively short and then you slide into the maintenance phase. So you want to maximize your weight loss during the weight loss phase.

Several months from now when you enter the Maintenance phase, you might try smoothies again. I have included a recipe for a berry smoothie at the end of the following article. [No added sugar, Greek yogurt to maximize protein] http://www.breadandbutterscience.com/Surgery.pdf
