Juicing questions



Recommended Posts

i have been thinking about getting a juicer. i want to find a way to get in fruits and veggies. i am 2 months out, by the way. looking at the ninja blender because it pulverizes the entire food instead of just juicing it, leaving all the Fiber and bulk! i figure i can throw in spinach, a green apple, blueberries, pineapple... and a scoop of my Unjury powder for Protein. that way i get my protein plus all of the Vitamins and nutrients from green veggies and fruits in a more sleeve friendly drinkable form. has anyone tried this yet??? and do you all recommend the ninja???

I bought a juicer, but found purchasing the fruit and veggies to go into it to be too cost prohibitive. I don't have time to seek out farmer's markets, etc (I live in two places throughout the week). I finally left it at work and my co-workers use it all the time and give me their leftovers or extras :P

We already have a restaurant grade blender that mixed up fruit really really well, but we ended up getting a juicer from some family, it's a Jack LaLanne juicer, and it's a beast. I love it. It separates the pulp and seed, which can be added back in say like us, my wife hates pulp, I love it. My Dr friend bought a vitamix, said the Ninja does everything the vitamix does, and is about a quarter of the cost too.

When is it safe to add juicing to your diet. I will be a full 3 weeks out tomorrow and have a juicer and would love to add to my diet.

I've never tried juicing, but I think I'd like to. Can anyone suggest a good book of juicing recipes?

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
