Since juicing is so popular right now I did ask my surgeon if it would be good or not for me to do it. He said I could for my veggies but not like a weight loss program so I've been doing once every 2-3 days I have a jack la lanne one.

That sounds delicious! I was thinking about the vitamaster, which seems to keep the pulp and Fiber in the juice.. I really want to be sure to get all the veggies in every day. V8 cooks out the enzymes, but I think would be good if I get lazy a couple days a week. V8 is really good too for potassium...the low sodium one is good too

Before surgery I juiced daily. My favorites combo is

Kale, carrots, celery, cucumber, Apple, lemon.

I was told after sugery I won't be able to juice. That it was hard to count the calories and it forces me to drink beyond the 15 ml

Also... You strip the fiber when makes it harder to digest your meals.

I'm going to ask my main surgeon tho. His physicians that see his patients said this

I am back on puréed food since my pouch is inflamed so I decided to do a little juice. 21/2carrots, one apple, 2 celery, handful each of kale and dandelion greens. Soooo good and 43 calories for 4 ounces. It makes 12 ounces so I will have more later. Lots of Vitamins.< /p>

      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.
