I've tried a ton of things to lose weight and nothing has ever been successful. Has anyone seen this movie and actually tried juicing? I'm wondering if I should give it a go, or if I should at least add a juice in there somewhere as a meal. Any thoughts?

I'm all for folks trying anything and see if it works, but I'm not sure having a sugary drink, that won't fill you up is likely to be a workable diet plan. Perhaps you will prove me wrong, until then I will stick to the Cuba Libre diet.

I thought the juices were mainly vegetables. I'll have to check out the Cuba Libre Diet. I'm just feeling like I keep hitting a wall, no matter what. Worried the surgery will end up the same way.

I have tried so many diets and failed. That's why I had surgery. Is juicing going to make you feel satisfied? Is this way of eating sustainable for you long term?

I guess you can turn anything into juice. The Cuba Libre diet was more of a joke, a Cuba Libre is also known as a Rum & Coke (usually with a lime).

Great advice.
Thank you! I want a permanent change also. [emoji4]

Oh. [emoji23][emoji23]

I don't think adding in a juice is a bad idea. I don't know that I could stick with it long term. Look up Dr. Vuong on Facebook, YouTube or Instagram. He's a bariatric surgeon that focuses a lot on nutrition. I'm (hopefully) attaching his entire book on "smoothies". Basically a mix of veggies and fruit that provide good nutrients and work for pre and post surgery. However he doesn't advise to only use these. You'll find a ton of video seminars he has about eating healthy.

I am skeptical.
