Hi,

I have been lurking in the forum for a while. So like many of you I'm in the process ( month 2 of 6 for Insurance pre qualification) of getting the sleeve. I want to try to set myself up for success by on the right path before I get the surgery. My ultimate down fall is my insatiable sweet tooth. Is anyone else working on this? Has anyone had success in beating this?

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.
