this is very premature but ive been thinking i want to do it. SInce i have been on liquids 3 weeks and i have essentially detoxed my body of everything i have been thinking about going organic once i can eat solid food again. Organic does seem to be the newest craze out there and i wasnt very fond of it in the beginning. obviously i cant go entirely organic but for the most part i want too do everything in my power to follow it. Since im starting fresh i think that this is another positive change in my life. I want to stay as healthy as possible from now on.

Any suggestions??

I always try to eat organic when I can. It is expensive, but I feel it is very worth it. Best of luck.

money shouldnt be an issue for me trying to get healthy. i dont want to use money as excuse to eat unhealthy because that is what the problem was to start with. Im willing to do anything and the sleeve was my first step. I think it will be worth it too.

I am 7 weeks post op and am eating almost all organic when I can. :-). It started with milk because I love it but couldn't drink a gallon or even half gallon before it expired.

I work at the greenest restaurant in the USA , and it really does make a difference on organic and not organic. so many chemicals and pesticides and even hormones added to things, it's so horrible

I think it's great! Organic produce can be quite affordable if it's in season. For example, a month ago conventional strawberries at a store near me were $2.99 and organic $5.99.....now it's $1.99 and $2.99, respectively. That's only a dollar difference, and yet strawberries are some of the worst fruit in terms of pesticides. I'd say if money is an issue, go organic for fruits and veggies that you wouldn't normally peel before you eat. Organic bananas - not worth it, IMO. I find that conventional strawberries and peaches leave my mouth and throat feeling kind of tingly, but with organic, I don't notice anything, so I'm pretty sure I have a mild sensitivity to pesticides.

Organic meat costs a fortune, BUT if you have a large freezer, you can find an organic/grass-fed butcher's shop in your area and put in an order for a large amount of meat, e.g. whole pig or half a cow, and save a ton of cash. You can also find other people online to split an entire animal with.
