Conquering the sweet tooth



Recommended Posts

If you want to crave greens start drinking green juices. I still drink a green juice and plan to do that for my liquid phase. My juice is made of cilantro, ginger, lemon, green apple, celery, cucumber and romaine lettuce. The more you drink, the more you crave salad. I swear it's true. Green juices are high in nutrition and very low in calories. They naturally detox the body and keep you regular (bowels). Someone on here can't remember , suggested diluting coconut Water with the green juice. I am going to do that. Juicing really does help your body. Your skin will definitely benefit. The skin is the last organ to get nutrition. When you juice it goes right through to the cells, instant nutrition. It really is true. Try it!

Do you strain it and drink just the thin liquid, or do you drink the pulpy part? I want to try it, but I'm a little nervous.

Do you have a juicer? I have a food processor, an old blender and a bullet type blender but no juicer. Do you need a specific machine? Can you make it up ahead of time and freeze it? What do you do with the pulp?

I gave a jack lalaine juicer. Got it off Amazon fir 99.00 best money I ever spent. We put the juice in main hars,and freeze it. One batch makes 6- 7 jars. Then we thaw it out the night before in the fridge. We throw the pulp away but there are things you can do with it. I just bought a vitamix and I am going to start juicing with it. You may even find a juicer at a discount price on eBay. As far as I know you can't juice in a blender.
I don't remember if I added ginger to my list. Ginger really makes it taste good.

If you have a whole foods store in your area they sell prepackaged green juices. That way you can taste them.

      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.
