I want to know if any post sleevers drink green juice and if you do when did you start? I drink everyday a green juice made of lemon, ginger, cilantro, cucumber, romaine lettuce and celery.

If you drink something like this please tell me when you could go back to it and if you are still able to drink it. It is very good and healthy and I hope I am able to still drink it after I am sleeved.

thanks!

My stomach handle it great after surgery. Started drinking them about month after surgery.

My doctor is very liberal. From 2 days postop you can eat anything as long as it's  pureed, that's for 3 weeks and after that it's your pick. I started like 2 weeks post op. No reason why not. I could have done it earlier.

I started drinking green juices almost immediately. I would dilute with coconut Water and sip on it for my liquid phase.

Oh thanks ! That is a great idea! I can drink green juice over chicken broth anyday. The coconut Water is a good idea as it is very healing for the intestines.

Sure! Green juices are great for you. I drink celery, cucumber, ronaine lettuce, lemon, ginger, green apple and cilantro.

My recipe is 3" piece of ginger. Less if you want it less spicy. Maybe start with a one inch piece.

1 lg green apple

1 head of celery

2 cucumbers

2 lemons

1 (3) pkg. Of romaine lettuce

1 bunch of cilantro

This recipe makes enough to fill 6 - 16oz mason jars or maybe 7 depending on the sise of the lettuce and cucumbers. We then freeze them and thaw them day by day in the fridge. We drnk a whole one everyday. This juice makes our skin glow and it makes us crave more greens! You can add ore or less of the lemon and ginger and cilantro depending on your taste.

Let me know how you like it. :)

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
