Has anyone any experience with juicing? Fresh juicing with a juicer that separates all fiber from the liquid juice? I am interested in juicing again for nutritional value, such as kale, beets, leaf lettuce, celery, cumcumbers. I have added carrots, apples and red grapes for their nutritients, as well as enhancing taste, but stay cautious of the natural sugars i'm adding by using them. Can anyone share their juicing experiences?

Hi there, I used a vitamix before surgery to keep all the fiber. Even with that, after a month of doing it, my husband and I had elevated blood sugars. Went up 20 points in one month! We were told to stop immediately. We are both carb sensitive obviously. If you have high blood sugar, are car sensitive or insulin resistant, I would not reccommend it, based on our experience and my detailed chat with the PCP on what she routinely sees in her patients.

I use to juice all the time...only thing I hated was the clean up..

I am 1 week out and i hat all the sugar free drinks so ive been just with water.. But yesterday i tried freshly squeezed orange juice and also had a little today. No sugar just juice... And to the moment i am doing good.

I was not allowed to consume fresh juice until six weeks out. I juice frequently and it's a FANTASTIC way to get all of those wonderful micronutrients from the veggies. The only thing is that I just have to be careful of how much fruit I'm using. I try to stick with kale or other greens, cucumbers, lemons, ginger, celery and just enough apple or orange to make it palatable. And I do enjoy an occasional carrot-apple juice when I'm not trying to be all low carb. I juiced right up until my surgery and I had a fantastic recovery with very little inflammation of my sleeve.. my incision sites healed so quickly I was discharged from the hospital with only one Band-Aid. I don't know, but I think the juicing really helped make my body ready for surgery.
