Awesome! I found his videos because of Covid 19, then realized that he had weight loss videos too! lol! I lost a good deal of weight over a year ago, but fell off of the wagon, and need to get back on. I'm loving his videos! I'm back to making smoothies daily and feel better after just a few days!
Dr. V you are so awesome. My bariatric nutritionist asked What is my goal weight? I told her 140lb and she’s like Well most people with the surgery only lose a percentage and she said for my current weight that looks like 180lbs and that should be my goal weight and since I never was skinny she stared my body will most likely fight not to get that thin. But in my head I’m like this bitch is trying to make me be okay with 180lb even tho that is still obese. So Dr. V you and your books and inspiration is letting me know I can lose a lot of weight with my green smoothies and big ass salad lol thanks Dr V
I make this type of smoothie daily but I also add a tablespoon of spirulina powder. The next day I rotate and add a tablespoon of chlorella powder because the two are different types of superfoods. Talk about energy through the roof! I love your vids and you always keep me smiling!
Thank you for leaving these videos up. I am 6 weeks post. Dr. said eat zero sugar pudding or jello but no smoothie due to sugar intake. I have been feeling like crap and I believe you may be the truth, that many people need to take heed to.
I have added my little green smoothies to my diet. I had my big ass salad yesterday. I have recorded what my dinner plan is from your suggestions. I have my lil Dr. Duc's mantras. Your ass is like AA. So happy I ran across your videos. I have surgery set for 721/20. I bought you sleeve book. Waiting for green smoothie book. You tickle me. " I am more powerful than food." Good habits over a long period of time gives great results. Thank you, Dr. Vuong. You are an inspiration to me.
I use two big handfuls of kale, I measure out 122grams of pineapple, 240ml of almond milk (unsweetened) one small banana and half a scoop of my vegan Vega Vanilla protein powder 17grams and blend. I will try the hemp seeds tomorrow. I always keep hemp, and flaxseeds in my freezer
yes! I have been making green smoothies for my kids since they were little! They love them, they ask for them and I love they are getting super nutrition!
My VSG surgery is 1/21/19. After spending $300 on the BARIATRIC ADVANTAGE protein products that are REQUIRED by the bariatric group/surgeon that I'm going to....my system can't take it! Horrible cramping, gas, nausea and heart burn. When I called the office, all they could offer is "Try premier protein". I AM LIVID! Thank you Dr.V for sharing this valuable info with us. I will surely be doing this for the mushy phase.
@@desireesandovalwilliams8371 I would but all three bags I purchased have been opened including the boxes of bars. I'm going to speak with the office manager to see what they can do...
I bought so many different brands before I settled on premier. Texture more so, than taste was important to me. Yes. I don’t like milkshakes. Too thick! After a while premier became to thick on my tongue.
I made my first green smoothie. I've always turned away the idea of spinach. Since I used baby spinach, banana, mango, and pineapple. I did not taste the spinach what so ever. My 16-year-old food critic daughter of mine tried to kidnap my smoothie. Thank you Dr. V for making this video Oh by the way I purchased hemp seeds from Costco.
Oh yeah.... allergic to whey, casein, eggs. My life did change after my surgery....it was tough finding a protein powder at first. Then the veggie protein I like prior to surgery I couldn’t choked down after surgery... then had to found a new one! Wish I had found Dr V before my surgery .... glad I have found him know. Thanks for sharing your knowledge Dr V!
Whey protein drinks have carrageenan in them, that hurts my stomach so badly but I have been drinking them to get my protein in. My stomach hurts constantly after VsG and I can hardly stomach meats, can’t handle eggs… :( I get so sick from yogurt too! I am researching being able to do green smoothies and am relieved to see that we can. I have been craving healthy greens! I just made a green smoothie with spinach, parsley, ginger, lemongrass, cucumber, green apple, fresh lemon with rinds and seeds, coconut water and 1/2 cup of mango and pineapple. I’m in heaven and satisfied for the first time since my surgery! Thank you for the hemp heart info - I’m ordering it now.
I couldn’t find the sale on kindle. But great video and topic. I was planning on going with hemp seeds. And yes I cant do dairy. I love your lessons. Thanks
I wish there was a Stouts on the east coast. My San Diego home going to Sprout was one of the first stops. I use to eat those seeds back in the 70's-80s. I started eating it when rolling lol. Thanks Dr V.
Your videos contributed to full recovery from hip replacement surgery!! I had a phenomenal medical orthopedic team and GP team-always Will and your smoothies and other videos greatly helped me follow their orders with the greatest of respect and joy and recovery!!🌹🌹🌹🏆🏆🏆🏆🍏🍏❤️

It would be great if someone would make an already made, green smoothy for the quick on the go. I get up at 315am and would just love to go and run without going through all the steps. It would be good also if they come in 10-20 packs. Just thinking out loud.
Lacy Denise Lange - There is a company in Canada called Evive that has them predone. en.evivesmoothie.com/ There might be other companies as well if you search. Maybe you could blend your own and freeze in an ice cube tray?
I'm going to follow your videos till after my RNY in April/May. Thank you for all the info and that smoothie book as well as your other ones, I'm going to purchase now.
Dr V, my surgery date is Feb 4th, would I have to strain this smoothie? Or would I wait for the full liquid stage? Thanks and I've been binge watching your videos lol. Thanks for this!
I wish you were my neighbor Dr V ! -- Im at the 1st appt stage before Sleeve surgery this May '20 and Im loving your youtube video "direction" Im a very proactive personality type so thanks a ton for your help so freakin cool ! -- subscribed to so much !! Vita Girl *
Dr V....I have GERD and even following guidance on avoiding certain fruits like pineapple, I find the smoothie repeats on me after an hour or so. Could you recommend anything to add or avoid when I make smoothies? Thanks 😊
You can skip the soy milk and allow the hemp seeds to be your milk by just adding water. To add some thickness, add tablespoon of sea moss. You're welcome.
I started using hemp seeds about three months after my DS surgery in August 2018. I used them in my protein drinks, in soups, duck eggs for a while and salads as well. I also enjoy the nutty taste. I heard somewhere, maybe Dr. V, to chew your liquids.
today I was excited about making a smoothie. I just bought my Hemp seeds. I put in the water, some yogurt, frozen blueberries, well I used my bullet to blend it all up. After it was all mixed up, I excitedly poured it into my glassware. I took a swig, it wasn’t tasty at all. I had followed the amount on the back of the hemp seed package and it said 1/4 cup so that is what I put in. I choked it down little by little. It was the very worst tasting smoothie I had ever tasted, lol. That brought me to TH-cam, looking for a recipe for hemp seed and that is how I found you today. Next time I’m going to put a banana, some greens, and I am not going to put in yogurt. Also, I am putting 1/12 teaspoon hemp seeds only. I’m hoping that your recipe is going to taste so much better. Thank you for your video.
Do you know if you can substitute Chia seeds for the Hemp seeds? I just ordered a big bag of Chia! lol! I *think* that Chia would be interchangeable with the hemp? What do you think?
doctor V I don't know if you see the comments but when you are a couple weeks out should you be avoiding certain things in the smoothies like fruits with tiny seeds because the surgery was so recent? I'm nowhere near surgery yet and haven't had my post op diet talk, so I was just wondering
I love frozen tropical fruit, baby spinach, banana and 1 cup almond milk. Mixed Berries great too. To the fill line. Your ninja is doing double work lol 😂
Thank you for this recipe. I tried hemp and had a severe allergy attack. Had to use my inhaler and benedryll. Ever heard of that? It took down my immune system and within 15 minutes I had a full blown cold. So weird. Have no idea why. Luckily I can tolerate chia and flax seeds. These taste delish! Ps how soon after surgery can we have this shake?
Is it worth to buy something like nutribullet or ninja blender ? Iam using the very personal cheap blender which can be charges like phone.. and yes spinach very mild to taste but Iam using romaine lettuce ( not really like the effect of spinach / maybe only me ? )
I just started green smoothies about 2 weeks ago. Next time I am at the store I will get some hemp seeds. I have added flax seed to mine and yes, you can't taste the spinach at all!!
I kind of want full force marijuana because I’m in so much pain that may be it truly would help me so what if I feel a little happy for a few minutes a day I am disabled I can’t go anywhere I think it would help I just don’t know where to go to get it any suggestions?
You mentioned that 70-90 grams of protein might be too much, but what if you are trying to build muscle? And is building muscle possible after gastric bypass?
Absolutely Tracy! Dr. V talks about almond milk or other plant based milks in his other green smoothie video. Anything but dairy is OK. I use coconut water sometimes or Mama Chia chia beverage. I love those all by themselves! :)
This is an interesting video I am legally blind so it is very hard for me to actually why do you wait I do my best I am in line to get my gastric sleeve surgery I just I have a date yet but I am so excited and I am so thankful for you Dr V thank you so much for providing his videos because now I truly understand and I can be equally up when I go meet my surgeon to say okay this is what I want and this is what I don’t want it so thank you Dr V
I do your green smoothie daily!! Down 131 lbs!!!
Update please

How are you getting on x
I squeeze a few drops fresh lemons after packing in the greens. Lemons remove ALL the leafy taste. Highly recommend it!

Too many calories.
yes! I have been making green smoothies for my kids since they were little! They love them, they ask for them and I love they are getting super nutrition!
You should always blend your greens and liquid first ,then add everything else. It comes out better that way.
My VSG surgery is 1/21/19. After spending $300 on the BARIATRIC ADVANTAGE protein products that are REQUIRED by the bariatric group/surgeon that I'm going to....my system can't take it!

I wish they told you before you brought Bar. Advantage. It takes worse than life....
Just want to wish you a safe surgery and healthy recovery Angela

@@desireesandovalwilliams8371 I would but all three bags I purchased have been opened including the boxes of bars. I'm going to speak with the office manager to see what they can do...

Yes. I don’t like milkshakes. Too thick!
After a while premier became to thick on my tongue.
I have never had a green smoothie because I thought it would taste awful but because of you I tried it and I love it!!!
Been doing green smoothies lately and loving them!! Thank you for the reminder of doing these
Just had vsg 3 weeks ago and your green smoothies are the one thing I look forward to consuming everyday! Thanks for all this information

Dr. V if you want a Kale smoothie with no tiny green bits left over then add a half Avocado goes a long way to improving the color, texture and taste!
Can I use coconut or Almond milk for the smoothie
Thank you for this!! I bought the ingredients for the smoothie today, now I just need the hemp seeds.
Amen!! Who is the parents!?!

How many grams of protein is in this smoothie
You da best Dr. V!!
Hi, can Frozen spinach be used?
Protein shakes were fine for me prior to surgery. After surgery they made me so sick!
Me too
Me too!! My surgeon really was no help. Just kept getting "try different ones" 🙄
Dr V....I have GERD and even following guidance on avoiding certain fruits like pineapple, I find the smoothie repeats on me after an hour or so. Could you recommend anything to add or avoid when I make smoothies? Thanks 😊
What if. I use avocado in my smooth as a green veggie is that ok to?
Hi Doc. What do you think of Moringa powder in your smoothies or just in general?
Sounds great
Do frozen greens count as leafy greens?
more smoothies video doc Vuong.. God bless
How soon after VSG do your patients get to drink a green smoothie?
But Dr, V soy is super inflammatory, I am surprised you recommend it. I have so many problems with soy.
I cant find this book and the one thats listed is $20. I got the other one but i can only view it on line
I love hemp seeds and powder
How do you feel about AG1 greens?
Ahahaha you’re hilarious. I’ll check out and get your books. Thanks for the recipe, Doc.
You can skip the soy milk and allow the hemp seeds to be your milk by just adding water. To add some thickness, add tablespoon of sea moss. You're welcome.
It's not a low calorie smoothie, it's high protien. Also it's not about the type milk

What is the best blender ???? Ty
Your life's going to change when you start accepting responsibility for your own actions 😉
Loved the comment “who’s the parent here?” I say that so much! 😂
doctor V I don't know if you see the comments but when you are a couple weeks out should you be avoiding certain things in the smoothies like fruits with tiny seeds because the surgery was so recent? I'm nowhere near surgery yet and haven't had my post op diet talk, so I was just wondering
Needed this smoothie receipe. Thanks!

These saved my life because I can't drink those premier protein drinks after surgery. Thanks 🙏🏾
Dr how many calories does this add up too and the same question for the lo carb smoothie
Read the nutrition labels of each item you place in your blender
I totally missed the 99 cent sale by several months :)
Same
Hi can I use premium milk protein shake when doing this
I got the magic bullet deluxe so is that still okay to use
what about chia seeds?
My surgeon told me I had to do 100 g protein a day! And it's hard and so is drinking 64 fl Oz and I'm 2.5 years out
Hi Dr.. what about pea protein ? How this compare with hemp protein ?
Typing correction/wishing you and your family a very happy New Year. I still type too quickly. My apologies and sincere best wishes!!!🌹🌹🌹🏆🏆🍏🍏
I have tried 2 different types of protein powder and collegen powder and yes I got real sick on it
Is it worth to buy something like nutribullet or ninja blender ? Iam using the very personal cheap blender which can be charges like phone.. and yes spinach very mild to taste but Iam using romaine lettuce ( not really like the effect of spinach / maybe only me ? )
QUALITY of protein - love it!
How long after surgery should we start the smoothie
He said 2/3 weeks out he allows his patients. Talk to your surgeon.
What about pumpkin seeds??hemp is not allowed in my country
I just started green smoothies about 2 weeks ago. Next time I am at the store I will get some hemp seeds. I have added flax seed to mine and yes, you can't taste the spinach at all!!
Tried to get your PDF. Doesn't work.
Are you for people getting the covid vaccine?
I have a nutri ninja bit it will not cut through the frozen fruit... I have to defrost my fruit first... WHYYYY
Good video 💯🔥💥
I kind of want full force marijuana because I’m in so much pain that may be it truly would help me so what if I feel a little happy for a few minutes a day I am disabled I can’t go anywhere I think it would help I just don’t know where to go to get it any suggestions?
Can you taste the hemp?
I’m going to buy some today.
You mentioned that 70-90 grams of protein might be too much, but what if you are trying to build muscle? And is building muscle possible after gastric bypass?
What about almond beverage instead of soy
Absolutely Tracy! Dr. V talks about almond milk or other plant based milks in his other green smoothie video. Anything but dairy is OK. I use coconut water sometimes or Mama Chia chia beverage. I love those all by themselves! :)
