I today is my 5 months post op date. My life has changed dramatically. I began this journey at 267 pounds (day of surgery) and today I am 194. I began at a size 20 today I am a size 12/14. There are so many things I can do today I could not do 5 months ago. I don't even know where to begin. My diet consist of mainly nuts, smoothies, homemade juice, and veggies. I do not get as much Protein and Water as I should and have not exercised. I have not lost any hair which I attribute to juicing. I am not a textbook WLS case but I am making my sleeve work for me.

Wow -- great job! Go update your stats in your profile so your numbers show the incredible progress!

Hi! Sure. I juice red cabbage, spinach, celery, beet, cilantro, carrots and apple.

I make my smoothies with strawberries, blueberries, half a banana, unsweetened almond milk, 2 Splenda, and a tsp of vanilla.

Hope this helps. Enjoy!!

Hi. Yes juice vegetables. My recipes are in my post above.

I'm five months out too! I feel great but I am currently losing a lot of hair!!! I'm going to try your juice recipes thanks!

Thanks for ur recipe. Pre surgery I juiced kale spinach cucumber green apple lemon celery and a little ginger root. It is a good mix.

How far out (post op) were u before u began juicing?

About 3 months post op.

Can you tell me how many oz of liquid you are drinking when you juice? Just trying to get an idea? I love juicing.
