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?

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
