Fat, Sick , and Nearly Dead

[sunnyd 32]

Has anyone ever tried juicing before? Last night I watched the documentary Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead. AMAZING and very inspirational! If you have Netflix you can watch it instantly- and I would highly recommend this movie. Two guys change their lives by doing a juicing cleanse and then incorporate juicing into their regular diet afterwards.

I would be up to trying juicing myself but was wondering if it would be too much for someone with the sleeve. I will ask my doctor during my next visit but was just wondering if any of you had any experience with this or advice.

I have never watched the movie you are talking about but I love my juicer! I juiced before surgery and now after. I obviously can't drink as much now as I could before surgery but this is a great way to get in fruits and veggies. I use it for my kids too. My favorite is to always add raw beets to whatever I am juicing. It's interesting because as long as you add some fruit to the juice it takes away the veggie taste. My kids even love it!

What type of juicer do you have? I really think I want to purchase one. I've been looking at the Breville brands online- they seem to have good reviews. Just wondering if they are worth the $$$ though.

I was wondering the same thing about juicing. Afraid to spend money on an appliance I may not use. LOL.

As for Breville...obviously I don't have the juicer, but I have a few other of their appliances and they are AWESOME! They've been worth the extra $$$ so far. (And if you check HSN or QVC, you'll probably be able to get them on payments, and if you hate the appliance, they're good about returns.)

I have a Juiceman juicer. I bought mine at Kohls.com over a year ago. I waited until they had a 30% off sale and found the coupon code online and ordered it. I don't even know if they still sell that brand. It works great so far.

The ones you are looking at look wonderful! I probably wouldn't spend that much money on one unless you know for sure you will like juicing and want to keep doing it.

Juicing is a great way to get ALOT of Vitamins in, I would recomend wheat grass shots and beet juice but be careful you might get the runs if you over do it....

Thanks for your feedback everyone! I think I will start pricing them and reading reviews. Definitely want to purchase one!

I would suggest a Single Auger Masticating Juicer, their great and the clean up is nowhere as difficult as other kinds of juicers. I seem to get more juice out of this type than the 'ol jack lalane' type. If you want you could always buy the wheat grass trays and use those, its like having a house plant. Walmart.com or Amazon.com seem to have the best prices. Good luck, you do get used to the taste which is not all that bad...
