At what point in your weight loss surgery would you venture into raw vegan?

As soon as you can! Even if you can't do full on raw veggies yet, you can do purees and maybe nut butters if you can handle it (early on I couldn't do much fat).

Never.

May I ask why you want to eat raw vegan instead of a mixed vegan diet?

I’ve been fully raw since the day of my surgery (12/19/18).

I have 2 shakes a day with a small amount of fruit, a quarter cup hemp seeds (10g Protein and good fatty acids) and 2 scoops (38g protein) of Sunwarrior raw/vegan/organic Protein Powder (https://goo.gl/uJx891).
I also have purée of various veggies and nuts (like raw sprouted cashews, hemp seeds or pine nuts, zucchini, sun-dried tomatoes, and basil, sea salt, etc.).

I haven’t figured out what I’m going to eat during the soft foods stage but I’ll figure out some good recipes.

The final stage will be easy (I think) as long as you play around with various foods to see what your system can handle.

I think I will be keeping up the protein smoothies forever.

I also include juiced cucumber, celery, kale, baby spinach, sunflower sprouts, and parsley a couple times per day. You need a good masticating juicer but I think it’s worth the cost.

      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.
