Juicing low carb veggies?



Recommended Posts

Hey! I was just wondering if any of you Sleevers out there ever juice?

I am 3.5 weeks out and have been craving vegetables like crazy, and was wondering if any of you have juiced and added Protein Powder to it?

I find it more convenient to drink Protein during work and thought this would be a good alternative to pre made shakes.

Thank you

Sheena :-)

I prefer nutra bullet or similar products. When you juice you loose all that Fiber which is one of the benefits of fruits and veg. To me without the fiber all that natural sugar you are drinking in isn't worth it.

It's great with almond milk and a banana. I blend it all in my vitamix

27g of Protein and 6-8 servings of veggies

Thank you Vineeta!

I emailed Carla today and she said I could juice as long as it was mostly veggies and to be careful what ones I chose based on how gassy they make me! So as long as I mix Protein powder in there I can have a juice a day! Yippeeee!

How are you doing? ? Did you get a date yet my friend??

      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!!
