I will provide updates in the next day or two. I haven't posted on this site since September and I really just logged in to make sure I could still log in.

 

Jan. 17th will be one year post op and I have to say...getting sleeved was the BEST thing I've ever done for myself!!! I look and feel FANTASTIC! I still watch everything I put in my mouth. I have adopted a 98% plant based diet and I do lots of green juicing. Green juicing has saved me.

 

More in the next day or two.....

Congratulations. I'm pre-sleeve and an avid green juicer and am hoping it will be a good fit for the sleeve (I'm actually enjoying a mean green right now!) I'd love to hear more about how juicing fits into your sleeved diet, the composition of your juices, etc. I look forward to your update.

Congratulations! I'm just 2-1/2 months post. I've been drinking "Green Goodness". Haven't tried yet my own juicing. Plant based is an excellent way to go. I'm working on that a little more every day. Keep up the great work!

Hi! Well, there is a fantastic movie I watched which got me turned on to juicing -> "Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead". It is a very entertaining movie and you can get it on Netflix or iTunes. For a while you could watch i for free at www.jointhereboot.com. This movie changed my life!!! So..., I started out with a Jack LaLane juicer and it works just fine. But, I've started making quite a bit of juice - I sell/give juice to friends and colleagues at work - and I needed something more industrial. I wanted an auger juicer so I got the Omega J8006 and LOVE it. The juice I make the most is the following recipe:

kale - washing super well is a must &remove the toughest part of the center rib

spinach

celery

cucumber

apples and/or pears

lemon - peel off rind

lots of fresh ginger - peel off skin

sometime I also add parsley

This recipe is so very delicious.

I highly recommend watching the movie. Then, let me know if you have any questions.

:-)

Hi.

Well along with getting sleeved a year ago there are two movies that absolutely changed my life. One was "Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead" (about juicing) and the other was "Forks Over Knives" (about plant based diets). Once you stop eating animal products you will feel light and powerful. I get protein in with lots and lots and lots of greens, legumes, nuts, seeds, soy beans. I eat greens before I eat anything else these days.

Never felt better in my life.

Let me know if you have any specific questions or anything.

:-)
