JuicePlus Question

I guess this would be addressed to anyone who takes this post-operatively. What in the world do ya'll eat that with? I know that they said to break the capsules open, but that stuff has got to taste horrible out of the capsule. Anywho, just looking for suggestions for how I should get it in my belly!! Joe

What is juice plus NAT

Hi. Juice plus is a supplement, and it is not a supplement. The best way to describe it is it is all your fruits and veges ground up into pill form. Joe I would suggest apple sauce? -- I am not post op yet but oneday I will be and i was kind of wondering the same thing. I guess taking them whole is not an option. Oh wait .... I just remebered.... They have juice Plus GUMMIES..... They would be chewable.... When you call and re-order or go to their website... you can check that out. Connie

Yeah, I had thought about getting the gummies, but I have got a ton of the capsules left and that stuff wasn't cheap. I wanted to try and use all of the capsules that I had before ordering anything else. Thanks!!! Joe

Hey NAT! How's life treating you after surgery? Pretty well I hope. JuicePlus is a supplement that Dr. Duncan likes to have all of his patients on before and after surgery. It is a ton of fruits and vegetables condensed down into capsule form. It helps with the surgery and the healing process. Joe

I was told by the surgeons staff and the dietician that after the surgery, you will not be able to swallow any capsules or pills that are larger than a pea. If you do, it may not completely break down and cause a blockage in your new stomach. Joe

I just switched to a product called reliv you can find in on google. I think it is reliv.com. It is all a liqued drink. It has protein and gobs of vitamines.

Hey Joe: I had the same concern and was afraid to take them. When I went for my one month post op visit, (my surgery was on 3/29/04) I asked Dr. McGowan and he said to just go ahead and take the capsules one at a time with a little water. I take them about 1 hour after each meal and then before bed. Veggies in the morning and fruits in the evening. So far, I have not had a problem. I take each capsule with just a small sip of water. Hope this helps. Pam

Thank you VERY much Pam. I'll start tomorrow and see how it goes. Joe

what ever you do, do NOT get the chewables, They are horrible Mrs~Jackson
