Does anyone juice? What kind of fruits n veggies do you use

I don't yet but I want to. I was going to talk with my nutritionist and research juicing with bariatric surgery before I start.

I juice every day. I use all organic veggies and fruit-- one apple, two celery stalks, one carrot, two or three strawberries, chunk of lemon, handful of lettuce. Makes 6-7 ounces and has about 60 calories and tons of vitamins. I use an old acme juicer that lets some pulp in. I used to be constipated, but that is no longer an issue.

I am almost 6 weeks out and down 38 lbs. my nut is very pleased with my results and with the juicing.

I have just started juicing but I am worried about the cals/sugar. I have a centrifugal juicer, no pulp..

I think to myself, why dont I just eat those veggies, then I wouldnt be hungry, and same amount of vitamins with the fibre as well..

I think it's a gimmick at the moment.

Its no gimmick. We invested in a VitaMix-expensive but so worth it, i swear that thing could grind up gravel. My hubby likes the veggie based juices,tomatoes,celery,spinach,apple,lemon,even a little jalapeno,and other assorted things just depending on what we have around. If you think that after bypass you could possibly eat all those veggies,it would take all day! With the VitaMix,all the fiber stays, you dont even have to peel anything. I wasnt as sold on it as he was,so every morning he makes his own and just gives me a small glass-and just like the post before-no more constipation! I know we have to be so concerned with getting our protein in, and juicing is a great way to still get the fruit,veggies,and fiber.

I would love to start juicing! I feel like a need recipes though.

My nut is great with the juicing and feels it's a great way to get vitamins and fluid and it keeps me regular!!

Here's my favorite: one large or two carrots, two stalks of celery, one apple, one quarter lemon, three or four strawberries. It makes 8-10 ounces and has about 100 calories for the whole thing. I drink it once a day and get more than 100 percent of vit a and c. And it's super yummy!

I have an ancient Acme juicer. I think there are some good ones at any big store.

The ninja works great too!

And it's not too much sugar with the apples and strawberries?

According to my nut, no. For 6 ounces it has about 9 grams of sugar. You could add more greens or broccoli to reduce sugar. It is loaded with easily digestible Vitamins.

Does anyone add chia seeds on a daily basis? I think they're high in protein.
