Is the nutribullet safe to purchase for making healthy drinks after having bypass



Recommended Posts

It has been 3months since my surgery and ofcourse I have lost over 60lbs. I am thinking of purchasing the nutribullet but the last time I was with my nutritionist she stated no juices. Which I did not ask her why wishing I did because I really thought that y would be ok to make healthy drinks can anyone tell me why no juice or is it ok for me to get the nutribullet.

A nutribullet isn't a juicer. It is more a personal sized blended and would be great to purchase. Typically when "no juices" is said, it is referring to fruit juice as it is so sugary/ full of carbs. However, making shakes is a great way to get your Protein in. You can also look up hand blenders or immersed blenders.

thanks so much for replying i had no idea and of course did not want to purchase off line and then find out by my nutritionist that i can not use it so that was very helpful.....

This is a great idea for you. I bought one soon after surgery and use it for making my Unjury shakes. Also good for plain yogurt and berries. You can use frozen berries of any type. Just don't add sugar. Good luck.

Hello! I hope you are still doing great! I am over 10 years after roux en y bypass and just bought a nutribullet rx. AND, I posted a very similar question on the veterans forum just a bit ago. I am still looking to be sure that it is okay to use it as I remember that I can't absorb all things like I used to be able to do pre-surgery. HAVE YOU TOLD YOUR ACTUAL NUTRITIONIST ABOUT IT AND WHAT DID SHE SAY? Thank you in advance!!!!

      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.
