With so many stories in the news about juicing I wondered if anyone here had any experience with this? I am ten months post surgery and have lost 60 pounds but the weight loss is very slow at this point of time. I have about fifteen more pounds to lose to reach my goal weight. In order to shake things up I've thought about juicing in combination with eating Proteins but I haven't been sure as to whether this would help or potentially harm. Frankly part of my hesitation is the expense of the machine and also you are grinding up a lot of fruits and vegetables to get a little bit of liquid.< /p>

Thanks.

Butter the bean is post op and has been doing some green smoothies and he loves it.

I am preop, and I can say I'm hooked on juicing. I have an Omega 8006 horizontal slow juicer and it is very efficient at everything except carrots. Carrot leave a lot of damp pulp behind but I'm ok with that because carrots are so cheap to begin with and I don't juice a lot of carrots anyway. a 20 ounce portion of mean green takes the following: 1 lemon, 1 apple, 1 cucumber 4 celery ribs, 1 chunk of ginger, 1/2 of a big bunch of greens. For me living in Harrisburg, PA, that works out to 2.50 to 3.00 for a 20 ounce juice It's very nutrient dense and I don't feel l like I'm wasting money.

My juicer rocks and as a plus, I also use it to make banana "ice cream" which is just a frozen banana run through the juicer.. yum. and also almond milk.

My biggest concern is that postop I'm not allowed lemons for a very long time so I guess I'll have to quit juicing while my belly heals (I CAN'T drink it without the lemons, cuz it tastes like lawn clippings when I do)

      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?

      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.
