anyone juicing?



Recommended Posts

I've recently become interested in juicing. I know we don't get the Fiber when we juice, but I feel like I need the nutrients from real food, not just Vitamins. Thoughts anyone?

Eat the fruit. Then you get both. I eat far more fruit then I used to. mayo clinic says we need 8-10 serving of fruits and veggies per day. My daughter lives on fruits and Proteins primarily and is slim slim slim. I think there is something to it.

I can eat so little, I'm getting very few nutrients. I would primarily juice veggies. Cant eat a lot of those, either. There are great recipes out there that include superfoods like kale, beet, carrot,and Tomato. I guess I'll call my nut.

I juiced early in recovery--it was wonderful. 2carrots, 2 celery, apple, kale, strawberries.

Because I couldn't even stomach the Vitamins my doc suggested Ensure Clear. They have a blueberry pomegranate that I've been able to choke down half a 10oz bottle a day. Tons of Proteins and vitamins. It made me feel so much better.

You can always use a blender instead of a juicer. Then the fiber will still be there.

Hi there.

Checking in from the Netherlands. Had my GBP a week ago and am working my way up to halfliquid and then on to 'regular' food.

I make smoothies like: banana with spinach (one of those frozen), sesame seeds and some skim yoghurt. Or mixed unsweetened frozen fruit with or without the spinach, yoghurt and some muesli. All of this in the blender and tadaaaa.

Be careful not to use too much ingredients, or share a healthy snack with family members. Throwing away is such a waste.

Last night I made a mix of potatoes and carrots and mashed it to a smoooooth bite. About 2 tablespoons full. It went down really well.

Well, so far my first contribution here. Hope to be back often and to hear from people here.

On my way to a healthier, lighter life. ;-)

Toodels,

Milu

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
