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!!!!

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
