Has anyone tried/use Juicers to get down those No no fruits/veggies??



Recommended Posts

If so,what brands?I love protien foods but seems like veggies and certain fruits are hard to consume,not to mention if you get full on your Proteins first.I'm waiting for the "approval process" and trying to learn as much as I can! Thank you for any input!! I hope I am able to get 'Banded'!!!!!!! oh the agony of the waiting game....

I actually have a Jack Lalanne juicer which I use from time to time. It isn't the BEST way to get your fruits and vegetables, but FAR greater than not eating them at all.

fruit and vegetable skins and flesh are loaded with flavonoids, phytonutrients, and Fiber. I'd really in time like to get a Vitamix which will allow me to pulverize the skins and flesh for those tough days when things are going down in whole form.

I've got a vitamix and its absolutely the best investment I ever made for family cooking.

for myself, I use it to make fruit smoothies, it breaks them down completely and I usually add spinach or some sort of green as well as its so healthy for you. It gets blended so well you wouldnt even know it was there.

At least with somethink like a vitamix that gets things completely smooth, you are still getting all the pulp and fibre that you miss out on with a juicer.

Which vitamix blender would you use? They have several different machines. If you have a link...that would be great.

I was wondering if anybody else did juicing. I've been with weight watchers for a while and tracking my food. When I noticed I hadn't had a fruit in over 9 weeks, and my only vegetable came in when I ate a salad, I got a little freaked. I borrowed my fathers juicer last night and already put it to work, I'm loving it!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
