GreenTealael 25,446 Posted February 23, 2018 So I was in whole foods and got a sweet and mellow smoothie which has raw spinach, I totally forgot I can't have raw veggies yet. Anyone know if it's a big deal since its pulverized so finely? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Creekimp13 5,840 Posted February 23, 2018 When was your surgery, Tealael? 1 GreenTealael reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Creekimp13 5,840 Posted February 23, 2018 (edited) Your profile shows your surgery was in November. I was sleeved in December and have absolutely no food restrictions per my doc and nutrtionist. I've been eating raw veggies for weeks. I think you'll be fine:) I'm weirdly curious about this...does anyone else have veggie restrictions 3-4 months out? It's bizarre how different the different programs are. Edited February 23, 2018 by Creekimp13 1 GreenTealael reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I always throw spinach in my morning smoothie pre-surgery, and I didnt think to ask my nutritionist if I could continue after surgery. Hmmm.... 1 GreenTealael reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LittleLizzieLilliput 919 Posted February 24, 2018 If they are pureed there is pretty much no problem except for the amount of carbs in veggies and fruits. My nut doesn't want me doing smoothies because I could end up putting in a TON of sugar into my diet and that's a killer for me. So no smoothies due to calorie and sugar restrictions, not digestive restrictions. 1 GreenTealael reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maggie1955 158 Posted February 24, 2018 My program indicates no raw veggies until I am 8 weeks post-op. I think because the spinach in your smoothie was pulverized you should be okay. 1 GreenTealael reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
