I have had my lapband since aug 2006. I have just started juicing this past week. I will celebrate 5 yrs of weight loss. I must say this is the first time I am able to get in the vitamins from mostly fruits since I started juicing. I believe if you watch your intake and juice more veggies that fruit you will be just fine. I'm not a big fan of the green juices they smell and taste like grass clippings but am working on my own combinations. Although I prefer to eat my salads there are some greens that will not go down no matter how I prepare them, examples broccolli, cauliflower, carrots. so I have made a tomato jusice combining a few of these and adding tabasco and wishishere sauce, simalar to a bloody mary minus the voldka. That being said. I think juicing is a great idea and wish I would have discovered it sooner. I don't knlw why the docs and dietticians do not recomend it for barriatric and lapband patients. As for recipes, i just googled juicing recipes and alterded them to my tastes. Good Luck with your juicing venture!

I take a vitamin that is in liquid for by a company called univera. The products are made from nautal plants. the ones I use are agless xtra and ageless essentials. this actually has stopped my hair loss and I have quite a bit of energy.

I use ageless extra and ageless essentials for energy and vitamines. I was having some hair loss once I started using these two products, I have alot of energy and no more hair loss. the products that I am taking are all natural.

Unfortunatly I will be out of town tuesday thru Thursday next week. If you decide to meet on Monday or Friday. I will definetly be there!

Anytime is good for me. I work at US cellular in champaign. I can pretty much take my lunch whenever. Oh yeah, My name is Linda, I actually live in thomasboro, which is about 8 miles north of champaign. Do you want me to set up a time and place or would you . Either way works for me.

Hey fellow champaign lapbanders. I have been banded since august 2006. Glad to see some locals. I am from the champaign area. Dr R is great! I haven't had any problems with any of my fills. I have never had a fluro. I have 3.2 cc.s in a 4 cc. band. there are different size bands. some have a 10 cc band so it would take longer for them to feel a difference once they have had their fills. Would be great to meet everyone. We should start a support group.
