I have a juicer and am wondering if anyone has used this a couple weeks after VSG

Not many of us do, but I am an exception. I would recommend you hold off a bit though and let your stomach heal. If you do elect to start, I would also highly recommend that you keep it predominently veggie based juice, and just enough fruit blended to make it tolerable. There is no doubt that incorporating juicing improved my lab work (cancer patient, so my needs are a little different). On the other hand, if you are looking to just make fresh fruit juice that is not a solid approach to your weight loss phase. My juice runs green when prepared to give you an idea of how much of it is green based.

Juice is nothing but sugar, which is the last thing you need immediately post-op.

You should be eating almost exclusively protein during the weight-loss phase, and drinking calories is going to be counter-productive.

Please talk to your Doc about this.   Juice as alot of acids and sugars (at least fruit) that are not good for your tummy.  I would suggest staying with what has been proved to work in post op diets.  You need soooooo much protein and little carbs (even fruit and veggie carbs need to be watched.)
