This week I have been juicing! My concoction including purple cabbage, carrots, cilantro, parsley, spinach, apples and grapes. One scoop of unflavored Protein Powder. In addition to my juice I are a piece of meat (salmon or some kind of fish).

I not only had energy out of the roof but pooped for an hour last night and dropped almost 4 pounds this week! Additionally I have not seen one strand of hair laying around here.

Hope everyone else had a great week!

Daily juicing does amazing things for your body. Your hair will be super shiny and thick, your skin will have a noticeable glow, nails will be strong and grow quicker, the poop...amazing, energy levels will skyrocket, a mental clarity will become apparent. It is so cool!

Do a 30 day challenge. One juice (preferably veggie) per day for 30 days. I swear to you, you be want to shout from the roof tops the positive effects you experience.

Im definitely looking to juice post-op. Im concerned about the sodium in the broth and drinking all the Protein Shakes so juicing is #1 on my list. Anyone talk to their dr. about juicing post-op?

I did with mine. True juicing, where the pulp is ssperated from the juice was fine with my program. Juicing via just blending it all up was a no go.

Talk to your program tho to be safe.

Yep, straight juice! Heck we are on liquids only anyway, might as well make it a healthy liquid!! I just really plan on juicing mostly veggies to stay away from the sugars in fruit.< /p>

Add in 2 or 3 apples after the veggies to cut the bitter taste.

Also, I went to the book store and bought a book called the juice bible. Lots of recipes and tips. :)

apple juice can make you dump... even with a sleeve. so be careful. maybe carrots, red peppers and sweet potatoes for a sweet taste. i did mostly cucumber and lettuce right after surgery. lil bit of ginger, spinach and berries.

Nearly all of my juice is all green items. Whole bag of spinach, whole head celery, few kale leaves, whole cucumber, then 2 green apples. I've taught people to start with a green base and add in one apple at a time and then taste the batch to see what else you want in it.

The green stuff has less sugars than the other produce out there. Apples yes are sugary, but so are carrots. My husband makes his owm juice and uses carrots. I avoid it if it isnt green, to keep from crashing hard. Any orange colored produce makes my kids dump, so thats partly why I stick with the greens.

One other thing...peel the oranges before juicing those...I had an early morning once and forgot too! Opps!

I'm curious what everyone else's batches of juice are. I need to expand past my green state, if possible. Not willing to go starchy either.

Ideas? and my produce looks just as sad Moon!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
