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.< /p>

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.

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 no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
