Is the nutribullet safe to purchase for making healthy drinks after having bypass



Recommended Posts

It has been 3months since my surgery and ofcourse I have lost over 60lbs. I am thinking of purchasing the nutribullet but the last time I was with my nutritionist she stated no juices. Which I did not ask her why wishing I did because I really thought that y would be ok to make healthy drinks can anyone tell me why no juice or is it ok for me to get the nutribullet.

A nutribullet isn't a juicer. It is more a personal sized blended and would be great to purchase. Typically when "no juices" is said, it is referring to fruit juice as it is so sugary/ full of carbs. However, making shakes is a great way to get your Protein in. You can also look up hand blenders or immersed blenders.

thanks so much for replying i had no idea and of course did not want to purchase off line and then find out by my nutritionist that i can not use it so that was very helpful.....

This is a great idea for you. I bought one soon after surgery and use it for making my Unjury shakes. Also good for plain yogurt and berries. You can use frozen berries of any type. Just don't add sugar. Good luck.

Hello! I hope you are still doing great! I am over 10 years after roux en y bypass and just bought a nutribullet rx. AND, I posted a very similar question on the veterans forum just a bit ago. I am still looking to be sure that it is okay to use it as I remember that I can't absorb all things like I used to be able to do pre-surgery. HAVE YOU TOLD YOUR ACTUAL NUTRITIONIST ABOUT IT AND WHAT DID SHE SAY? Thank you in advance!!!!

      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.

        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.

      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!
