Is it ok to juice after WLS? I have always wanted to try it but now don't know if it's a good idea or not.

I would say so. You get soo many nutrients you would never be able to eat. If you put some Protein Powder in it you could get your Protein too. Much better than a premade Protein Drink

I was told as little liquid calories as possible.

Juice=sugar, and worse, the spike and drop in blood sugar will make you hungry, and the juice won't fill you up.

Eat real food.< br>

Seems to me that juices are high in calories and sugar. Adding Protein gives it a boost but there are much better ways to add it to your diet. I'd be very cautious...........

As long as you keep the veggie juice high and fruit juice really low it should be fine.

Yeah...with fruits your carb count will probably be through the roof. Is there any particular reason why you want to do it?

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
