One YEAR Post Op! It's been forever since on this site....

Congratulations. I'm pre-sleeve and an avid green juicer and am hoping it will be a good fit for the sleeve (I'm actually enjoying a mean green right now!) I'd love to hear more about how juicing fits into your sleeved diet, the composition of your juices, etc. I look forward to your update.

Please tell me more about green juicing. I am getting my sleeve tomorrow and just today my daughter and I were talking about getting your vitamins through green juicing

Congratulations! I'm just 2-1/2 months post. I've been drinking "Green Goodness". Haven't tried yet my own juicing. Plant based is an excellent way to go. I'm working on that a little more every day. Keep up the great work!

Hi,please tell me how you get all your protein in that way?I hardly manage with eating meat and chicken.Would love to eat more plant based foods and protein.

Hi! Well, there is a fantastic movie I watched which got me turned on to juicing -> "Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead". It is a very entertaining movie and you can get it on Netflix or iTunes. For a while you could watch i for free at www.jointhereboot.com. This movie changed my life!!! So..., I started out with a Jack LaLane juicer and it works just fine. But, I've started making quite a bit of juice - I sell/give juice to friends and colleagues at work - and I needed something more industrial. I wanted an auger juicer so I got the Omega J8006 and LOVE it. The juice I make the most is the following recipe:

kale - washing super well is a must &remove the toughest part of the center rib

spinach

celery

cucumber

apples and/or pears

lemon - peel off rind

lots of fresh ginger - peel off skin

sometime I also add parsley

This recipe is so very delicious.

I highly recommend watching the movie. Then, let me know if you have any questions.

Hi.

Well along with getting sleeved a year ago there are two movies that absolutely changed my life. One was "Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead" (about juicing) and the other was "Forks Over Knives" (about plant based diets). Once you stop eating animal products you will feel light and powerful. I get protein in with lots and lots and lots of greens, legumes, nuts, seeds, soy beans. I eat greens before I eat anything else these days.

Never felt better in my life.

Let me know if you have any specific questions or anything.

:-)
