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

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
