I bout a juicer. Surprisingly there is only one small thread a bout lap and juicing.

I am 1 year post op and haven't lost much. I don't really eat the proper foods, so I was thinking about going on a diet like the pre band fast, but then I started hearing about Clean Gut, buy Gwenyth Paltrow and her Dr. If you know who she is then you know that she is super healthy and she drinks a lot of green juices.

Any other banders juice?

How in the world do I get started? <staring at shiny new juicer>

I did juicing for about 6 months prior to deciding to do lap band. It was fairly easy to do but the cost was a bit extreme for me personally. A proper juice would use quite a bit of veggies, so I was going to the Farmer's market and buying in bulk. I did mention this to True Results and the Doctor there said it wouldn't hurt every once in a while, but that the band was most effective with chewed solids. I have no idea though, I hope everything works out for you! It took me a while to find some yummy recipes, I had to look on line because I kept making some and they were terrible! So I say go online and look some up! I just know I used a lot of ginger and a lot of green fruits and veggies. Best Wishes!

I occasionally get a fresh made juice at the health club after a workout,,,,many of my friends have juicers....

My reluctance is that I focus on protein...so I stayed with making my own fresh smoothies, all types of flavors and combinations.......40gm of protein!

if you eat your allotted amount of foods, eat better quality food, and let the band do its job (while you do your part), you wont need to do a diet....just my opinion.

juicing is good, its liquid..goes right on through

eating healthy/lean food is better.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
