Thank you so much for this video. I have been post op Gastric Sleeve for 3 years now. I am so lost and have gained in the past year. Thank you because this has given me some direction to restart and figure out what I'm doing wrong. I have watched most of your videos and will be purchasing your book. I wish my Dr. had given and aided me in some direction or clue of what my life would be like years after. But I must say head hunger has been my number 1 issue. I didn't know what it was called and now I am aware of what to expect and how to tackle my night head hunger.
No, it is truly you who deserves our thanks! You and the other countless bariatric surgeons around the world are heaven sent. You provide hope when all appeared to be lost. Again, I send to you my heartfelt Thanks.
I'm trying to post more on my instagram account (@drmatthewweiner) too, please feel free to follow us for some more content there that you won't see here! Appreciate you all. - Dr. Weiner
Really helpful information. I've survived for two years basically on 2-3 pre- made organic protein shakes a day and filled in some food around them. Also, I did not have a good result with weight loss overall and am slowly gaining. I feel like I am starting all over from scratch as I was told the exact opposite to what your video's teach. I am thankful for this new insightful, useful information and I feel hopeful with the new information I am learning! :)
Before surgery, I bought a juicer and was in love with juicing Kale. I realize now the need for the fibre of the whole food. I am definitely going to try this one!
Great info, I just ordered your book and am waiting for it to arrive. You had mentioned in one of your responses below that you don't suggest adding protein powder. I hope the explanation is in your book. It seems that most info on WLS encourages lots of added protein. Thank you for taking the time to do these videos!
+Kay I touch on this briefly, but a colleague of mine, Garth Davis just wrote a book titled "Proteinaholic" - He offers a much more thorough explanation.Bottom line - 99% of Americans get more than enough protein in their diet, no need to add more
These videos are fantastic, have learned alot from them. I even told my surgeon about them and he asked me for the link to them :) I might have the RNY in june, just need to find the money for it. :)
Love your video as always. .. this one was do practical and thus, very helpful. One thought. .... How about a video of you, in civies, in the kitchen with your vitamix. ..and how about a smile! Dr Weiner in the kitchen! Boo to artificial sweeteners and protein powders. More greens! I use the power mix in Trader Joes salad area. .... and my life changed forever when Ibought my vitamix this past summer.
Love the idea, but, I run a really low budget operation, shooting a cooking video is difficult and well above my video editing skills. Maybe someday....
Forgive me if this question has been addressed by you in the past Dr. Weiner. For those of us with gastric bypass, would these smoothies be considered a 'slider' type of food? What about nutritional absorption? Thank you!
I encourage all my patients to drink these after surgery, but not all bariatric surgeons share my views. Whether or not they "slide" down is irrelevant in my mind, the more of these you drink, the more weight you lose and the healthier you become - I say "let them slide." You should have no problem absorbing the nutrients.
Dr. Warner thank you for the recipe I just tried it and I think it's awesome! Do you think that adding a scoop of protein to the plant Mix does something counterproductive? Curious as I am told that I should continue drinking protein shakes, for absorption of protein. additionally been recommended to me to drink them slowly over 2 to 3 hours time. Appreciate any thoughts you have on this? By the way I made One of the setpoint smoothie when I got home after hearing your video, with cocoa powder almond milk , lots of kale and sweetener.I could not taste the kale.
I don't recommend adding protein to these - if you want to ensure that you're getting enough protein, add some nuts or seeds. I'm not a fan of whey protein - I think postop bariatric patients get plenty of protein and should focus on eating whole unprocessed foods rather than fake protein shakes.
Dr. Weiner, im reading you from Argentina, i have one question for you: can i use milk in my set point smoothie? Thank you very much for all your vídeos, they have been so helpfull to me.
Dr Weiner, About 7 years ago I became allergic to Soft fruit, I think its the Pectin but not sure. All include pitted fruits like peaches, apricots, plums, cherries, Apples and all in that family. I can still eat berries, melons, and pineapple and most nuts with just a little itch. Do you have a healthy substitute for apples in your smoothies?
Thank you for this video, my question is: We are not using a juicer for this but a powerful blender? I would think this would be best since we are not taking out any of the fiber. Thanks again.
Are set point smoothies increasing the risk of having kidney stones? I had incident with kidney stone, is it safe for me to drink it? I've found many conflicting opinions, and don't know what I should believe in.
Thank you for the answer, it means a lot to me. In that case, just to be on the safe side, I'll be adding more water to my smoothies, and not only green leafy veggies, but also safer veggies, like carrots, tomatoes, cucumbers etc. I think it'll be fine this way. POC would be tough without smoothies, I think.
Also, I developed hypothyroidism a year ago and I have read cruciferous vegetables are bad for the thyroid unless cooked. So would having kale, or spinach in a smoothy cause me thyroid medication not to work?
Do you recommend waiting 3 months out from surgery to have the smoothies or can I do them now? I'm about 2 weeks out from Gastoric sleeve surgery. I'm having protein shakes and strained soups right now, next week I can have some puree food.
