Juice cleance/jump start weightloss/clear complexion



Recommended Posts

am starting a 21 day juice cleanse today and was wondering if anyone else has done this? I had my third fill yesterday and i think i might have good restriction. My fill nurse will be gone for a week so i decided now might be a good time to stay on the liquids cuz she will be away in case i need an unfill. also because i have good restriction now the juice will hopefully be satisfying enough to stick to it. What it says to do is juice fruits and veggies for yummy drinks, idealy every 2 hours (awake hours) or six to seven times a day. for 21 days. and it will cleance your whole system out and help you metabolism to burn fat, thus loose weight, and a bonus will clear complexion too. I read somewhere that people can have 10-20 even 30 lbs of gunk built up in our colens and this will flush all those heavy toxins out. My friend went on a juice cleance and lost 12 pounds of black stuff. She feel great now! anyone else out there try this? I will keep you all posted as to how it works!:rolleyes2:

Personally I think they are bad for you. We have bacteria in our colons for a reason....WE NEED IT! My doc, too, says at least 1 year post op to push Protein first. Sounds like you are kind of abandoning that; that's not good for you I wouldn't think. JMO of course...but I think "cleanses" are mostly bogus.

but you have to go back to solid food at some point right? sorta like those who had to go on a pre-op diet (i didn't have one), the moment they're introduced to solid food after their post op program...you see them typing here mad that they're gaining weight. well of course they are.

i just don't think the band is meant for us to drink our meals - my dr is also not fond of getting your calories from drinks (unless obviously after a fill or not feeling so hot).

i view "cleanse" as a healthy diet - not to be gross but i've had the healthiest stomach in my adult life after adapting to a proper diet since being banded.....my 2 cents.

IT IS ONLY FOR 21 DAYS,WHATS THE DIFFERANCE IF I DRINK OR CHEW MY food SO LONG AS I AM GETTING THE NUTRITION I NEED. iT'S NOT A LIFE STYLE CHANGE IT'S A CLEANCE. AND ONE OR MORE OF MY drinks A DAY IS A Protein Drink. i WANTED TO DO THIS CLEANCE BEFORE THE BAND IT REALLY IS ABOUT GETTING THE TOXINS OUT, THE WEIGHT LOSS MAY OR MAY NOT HAPPEN.

then do it. if your dr has no problem, enjoy the juices!

my dr does not recommend drinking meals - i personally like food enough to not drink them as well .. so personal choice.

btw - all caps really isn't necessary when sharing thoughts / ideas on the subject.

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      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.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
