Conquering the sweet tooth



Recommended Posts

If you want to crave greens start drinking green juices. I still drink a green juice and plan to do that for my liquid phase. My juice is made of cilantro, ginger, lemon, green apple, celery, cucumber and romaine lettuce. The more you drink, the more you crave salad. I swear it's true. Green juices are high in nutrition and very low in calories. They naturally detox the body and keep you regular (bowels). Someone on here can't remember , suggested diluting coconut Water with the green juice. I am going to do that. Juicing really does help your body. Your skin will definitely benefit. The skin is the last organ to get nutrition. When you juice it goes right through to the cells, instant nutrition. It really is true. Try it!

Do you strain it and drink just the thin liquid, or do you drink the pulpy part? I want to try it, but I'm a little nervous.

Do you have a juicer? I have a food processor, an old blender and a bullet type blender but no juicer. Do you need a specific machine? Can you make it up ahead of time and freeze it? What do you do with the pulp?

I gave a jack lalaine juicer. Got it off Amazon fir 99.00 best money I ever spent. We put the juice in main hars,and freeze it. One batch makes 6- 7 jars. Then we thaw it out the night before in the fridge. We throw the pulp away but there are things you can do with it. I just bought a vitamix and I am going to start juicing with it. You may even find a juicer at a discount price on eBay. As far as I know you can't juice in a blender.
I don't remember if I added ginger to my list. Ginger really makes it taste good.

If you have a whole foods store in your area they sell prepackaged green juices. That way you can taste them.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
