For me juice plus garden chews & fruit chews are just say $50 a month. I also do the vineyard chews which are another$31 a month. My daughter is also on the kid study. I've only been taking them for a month now. I see it as a healthy supplement to add to my diet since there is NO WAY I would be able to get anywhere close to taking the 26 fruits & veggies otherwise. Especially since having my sleeve done and needing to focus on Protein.

I have a friend who takes them and she has taken juice plus for 2 yrs. she said she used to have the acne scars but after taking juice plus they are gone. When I met her I would have never known of the scars on her face. She also has gotten her dad on them. Only since November and he now doesn't have leg pain due to varicose veins!!

I've been taking juice plus+ chews for about a month. No results yet really. I just like the thought of getting fruits & veggies easily since I have to focus on eating so much Protein.< /p>

Thanks all!

I have a jack llaine (sp?) juicer. Got mine at Walmart. Target here has juicers on sale this week (3-24/30)

It has been interesting. I like carrot, apple, cucumber, celery. Sometimes add beet to that too.

Tried spinach but to much effort for the amount of juice. May try again.

Anyone else have a juicer? I've just started using mine and so far love it!! Know any good combinations?

Does anyone else take the juice plus chews? Just started taking them & just curious.

I also make pumpkin cheesecake with some Protein powder in it. And I blenderize cottage cheese and add sf Torani Syrup to it.

How do you make your cheesecake?

Good luck with your leak. hope things get 100% better soon!!

Me too! I miss my spicy foods. I've heard it will get better after the six month mark. When our stomachs are fully healed. I'm a little over 4 months out.

Ok who has a food scale and what type is it? Looking at getting one and would like some opinions from others. Thanks!

Thanks!! I'll try that!!

So I am 5 months out and follow the 600 - 800 calories/64 oz min water/min 60 prot/20 to 40 carbs that a lot of people seem to follow. I measure everything and only eat 1.5 to 2 oz of meat for each meal.

Ok so how do you get all your Water in? That has been one of my biggest problems!! I'm almost 4 months out. I only get about 24/ 36 oz water in. what do you use to measure/ track everything?

Deli selects by Oscar Meyer are AWESOME!!!!

They have turkey' date=' roast beef and chicken and they are thick cuts of meat- 1/6" thick.. .. Not like paper.

Good protein/low fat snack option or to use as a Meal Replacement.< /p>

I make roll ups out of this meat. love it!! 1 slice of meat, cream cheese or laughing cow cheese, a few veggies like cucumber, bell pepper and or match stick carrots, a slice of paper thin meat or bacon then roll up. They are yummy, I get a few veggies in and are super easy th make. Actually are better made in advance.

Ment to send my above post aimed at you' date=' since you are right down the road from me, neighbor.[/quote']

Hi yourself neighbor! we need to try to meet up sometime.

Here is my WLS pinterest board!

I'm now following you! "my food" is the name of my low carb board.

Danville' date=' Alabama you need to join our Alabama and MS group! Only a few of us, but we need to represent! By the way Roll Tide or War Eagle? LOL! That's important info you know! [/quote']

neither woo pig sooie!! I'm originally from Arkansas. If I HAD to choose one it would be war eagle! I have joined an alabama group. Where are you?

I have my fitness pal and use it occasionally. What is everyone's emails so we can all be buddies?

I've been using calorie counter. I like it because you can put in barcodes from foods without having a camera on the "phone" I have an I pod.

I need toi get a scale.

How are you measuring food? Measuring spoons,cups or scale? If a scale what kind? Also how do you find the nutriential value of foods you make? I know there are apps or web sites to do this but which ones are good?

Ok how much Water are you supposed to be able to drink @ 5 weeks out? I know your supposed to get 64 + oz ASAP but I can't seem to get much down. I feel like I have to sip 24/7 to get in enough.

Wonton wrappers baked 6-8 min until chrispy.

He said' date=' "why didn't you call me?" I said, what would you have done, he said it you use meat tenderiser and Water that it will clear the belly out. I told him I took the papaya enzyme and that helped, but it took a while. .[/quote']

How much meat tenderizer vs. Water? Just use when food is stuck and unbearable? What is papaya enzyme?

Ok...I need the recipes! How do you cook your wonton wrappers for your eggs?

Do you want the recipes for all the stuff I made? Tomatoes & wrappers? As for the eggs I use a metal mini loaf pan and put 2 wonton wrappers in the bottom with a spray of olive oil. Bake in my toaster oven until crispy. Usually approx 6 min. Or full oven 350. I'm sure you could use muffin tins and make more than one at a time. Then I make a scrambled egg, add a bit of cheese or sometimes bacon crumbles. When cooked add to crispy wrapper. Can be taken out of mini loaf pan nd carried around.

Hope this makes sence.

If you want something cruchy cracker like bake a wonton wrapper a few minutes until crispy. Yummy!
