hi there. going to my consultation the end of august, in the meantime doing lots of research in preparation for the future. anyone use a juicer or the nutribullet for post-op diet and after? is it a must?

thanks.

It's good to have something to make shakes/purees to increase your choices during the different eating stages.

I have a juicer, a bullet and a regular blender.

The bullet is the most handy for me.

Juice can be empty calories if you drink too much, and it's easy to drink too much. Liquid calories in general should be avoided unless they're supplemental protein.

Juicing is only empty calories if you're buying high sugar juices in a bottle. I make natural juices in my juicer with fresh produce I buy at the grocery store/farmer's market. I only plan to juice once or twice a week once I'm post-op because I know liquid will go right through the sleeve and it is easy to make the juice high calorie if you use too much fruit. I plan to juice my greens/low calorie veggies and keep the juice to only 30-50 calories, but I'd like to try to get as many vitamins & minerals as I can naturally.

I am purchasing the Ninja Pulse 204.... it has gotten rave reviews and Buy Happier.com has free shipping and an extended 3 year warranty for $79.99

Seems like a good deal... will let you know how it performs.

Excellent. I'll have to check it out. Never heard of the ninja!

Check Sams Club first. They have one that comes with a heavier grade motor & base, I recently got it for my wife. She loves it.

I have a Ninja and a juicer. I like making carrot juice and adding unflavored protein to it.

I have the Ninja, bought it from Amazon. I'm preop and use it daily. LOVE it.
