Hi,

Does anyone have experience with juicing post-op? I have juiced daily before and after for nutrients and I miss veggies. I would like to share stories or ideas

Thanks

I have a vitamix and I make green shakes all the time. Currently I'll put 2 big cups of kale, 2 cups Water, 1/2 cup frozen mixed fruit and 2 scoops of Protein Powder. Makes a huge shake, very filling for me and about the only way I'll get in greens regularly.

I just went out and printed off the nutritional values of veggies, fruit and fish. I want to make sure I know the carbo value of what I am drinking.

Yup, I'm a juicer. I like a juice/smoothie hybrid. I juice my kale, ginger, citrus, apples or carrots, but I blend my bananas, peaches, avocados and berries. So I'll make the smoothie with the blended ingredients and mix it with a shot of juice. Best of both worlds.

Mushrooms are great for Vit D. Do you use fresh mushrooms (little button) or can in your mix?

I love my nutribullet; I got it after surgery when I was missing my veggies like you are. I put in kale, chard, or spinach with half an avocado (a small one!), some frozen peaches or mango or berries, some goji berries or 1/2 oz of almonds, and Protein powder. I like the Syntrax Nectar -- I use fuzzy navel with my peaches, and strawberry kiwi with berries. vanilla is good with just about anything! I have a green shake 5 days a week (I take it to the office). I'm 4 months out and hoping the avocado will help prevent major hair loss....so far so good --- fingers crossed.

I definitely began to feel better and more "balanced" once I started my green shakes.< /p>

Oh yeah! Another favorite recipe is to use a leafy green & the 1/2 avo plus a cored apple with vanilla Protein and a dash of cinammon! usually put some lemon juice in to keep it from browning. It is SO yummy!

      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.
