Has anyone used a "juiceman" or equivalent juicer for extra vitamin absorbtion?
It seemed to hit me while watching an ifomercial this early AM. like a light bulb almost...If post -ops have to be sure to get in their vitamins and liquids and nutrition but have a hard time eating very much, have any of you ever tried or thought of using a juicer to prepare non-processed, fresh vegetable and fruit juices to aid in getting in adequate quality nutrients?? please respond....my mind is continuously turning and trying to come up with new cool gadgets to buy to help me eat good quality foods after surgery that HELP me. — Tracy L.

Tracy, I had the same idea but haven't gone and bought a juicer yet. I
think a good carrott and apple juice would be very good for us vitamin
wise. I see no reason why it would hurt unless we with the RNY have
trouble with the very sweet/natural sugared fruits. I'm anxious to hear
what others think.

I think it is a great idea.....I thought about the same thing about a month
and half ago. And I bought a Vita-Mix at the fair. It is great and my kids
love it as well. I am having my LAP RNY in two days. I think it will
probable be at least a week before I will try to use it. But afterwards I
think it will be the best thing for me as far as getting all the Vitamons
and Protien and it all tasting great as well (Which is important to
me...for it to taste good). Good luck to you all.

Once in a while I have a hard time eating-no appetite so therefore I make
juice drinks in a cuisinart blender (department store $129.00). It's good
for you and doesn't give you that yuck I'm too full feel so it's very
appropriate. I drink many homeade juices. Well they're sort of juices. I
just put the fruit (raspberries, oranges, pineapples, bananas, cherries,
peaches) in the blender with ice and water and sometimes equal. Hey it's
food!

Howdy! I bought a JuiceManII before I had RNY surgery. I used it to make
some creamed soups, by juicing carrots and adding dry milk powder and
spices. I used it just this week (I'm 5 and 1/2 mo post op) to make some
celery/carrot/strawberry and celery/carrot/apple juices because I came down
with a short case of gout or pseudo-gout. I did some research on the
Internet when this happened and discovered that "rapid weight
loss" can set off an attack of gout! Amazing! Anyway, I read that
celery juice and strawberries can 'eat up' the uric acid crystals which
build up and cause the gout symptoms.
