First of all - do any of you jucie fruit or veggies?  As and RNY'er are we truly getting in all of the benefits from all of the antiaxidants, viatmins, cancer fighting agents, healing agents that are found in fruits and veggies.  I used to eat a ton of fruits and veggies and haven't had any for a long time now and just wondering if any of you juice.  The thing that would concern me a little here is the carbohydrate/sugar content.  Let me know your thoughts.

Also as a side note - Juice's surgery is coming up either Monday or Tuesday.  PM him and wish him luck and an uneventful surgery and recovering.

Also - is anyone interested in meeting at FVSD Hospital on Monday evening after work - maybe 6-6:30ish and going to see Diane and her family to offer support and comfort?  I was thinking about going but thought it might be a little awkward going by myself.  Then we could go out to dinner afterwards - PERKINS - has a FABULOUS grilled tilapia fish right now with asparagus.  And it's just down the road.  Or we could go for a walk together or whatever.  Just seeing if there is any interest in this.
Thanks,
Sal

On my LD I am allowed to have Diet V8 Splash and it's REALLY good! There are 3g of carbs, 2 of which are sugar in an 8 oz serving.  I am allowed 1/2 cup (4 oz.).  It also has 100% of Vitamin A and C and 20% of Vitamin E. The label says antioxidant plus - not sure what that means!

I can do this, I can do this, I can do this - AND SO CAN YOU!!

I have also tried that - I like the V8 Fusion light.  But I was thinking about using my own jucier etc.  I guess I should ask my NUT to see what she thinks.

Jay I think the problem with juicing is that we pass liquids so fast (so say the veterans) that I dont' know if it would be beneficial. I guess its worth asking the NUT? I know I was told if I do juice it needs to be 50/50 with water to cut down the sugar so we don't dump. My sister still dumps if she drinks some juices 3 yrs out.. even 50/50.. 

I would love to go with you on Monday but I can't!!
