Juicing low carb veggies?



Recommended Posts

Hey! I was just wondering if any of you Sleevers out there ever juice?

I am 3.5 weeks out and have been craving vegetables like crazy, and was wondering if any of you have juiced and added Protein Powder to it?

I find it more convenient to drink Protein during work and thought this would be a good alternative to pre made shakes.

Thank you

Sheena :-)

I prefer nutra bullet or similar products. When you juice you loose all that Fiber which is one of the benefits of fruits and veg. To me without the fiber all that natural sugar you are drinking in isn't worth it.

It's great with almond milk and a banana. I blend it all in my vitamix

27g of Protein and 6-8 servings of veggies

Thank you Vineeta!

I emailed Carla today and she said I could juice as long as it was mostly veggies and to be careful what ones I chose based on how gassy they make me! So as long as I mix Protein powder in there I can have a juice a day! Yippeeee!

How are you doing? ? Did you get a date yet my friend??

      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.
