Hello all! This is my first Forum topic. I've been reading your posts and so forth for over a year while mentally preparing to take this step. I'm still scared as hell, but excited too as I know that surgery is the right tool for me. I'll be starting orientation with Richmond Kaiser in a couple of days. So anyone reading this from my neck of the hoods please introduce yourself, I need as much support as possible.
Anywho, on to the question. I've recently acquired a juicer and find juicing to be super delicious and healthy. I'm wondering if anyone out there has used juicing to get some of the nutrients we need after surgery or is it a no no? I've noticed that sometimes the juices I make can be super sweet (Beets, carrots, apple, and parsley juice this morning was like drinking candy! Yummy!).
Thanks for reading. Can't wait to read your responses.

Hey All,
My Psych Eval went well today and I was at ease thx to all of your responses! Next appt is with the Surgeon on 8/27. So excited! This process is moving along quicker than I thought. Thx for your support. TTYS!

I can answer this one I think-
What I looked for when I saw people and what I believe others look for is emotional stability- also ruling out specific disorders that most definitely need specific medications that I believe are not easily regulated with such surgeries as the way certain meds are metabolized after theses surgeries are not all known or regulated well. So emotionally stable- sound support system; problem solving ability- likelihood of following through with dr recommendations; etc.
