Question:
Juice Plus?

I've heard from two of 'us' here that feel they've benefitted from taking the supplement, 'Juice Plus'. Personally, I know I don't get in as many vegetables as I would like to and probably never will as I will always have to focus on getting the protein in first. Anybody else a fan of 'Juice Plus'? It's over $30/month and I just want to be sure it's helped you before I commit.    — Vicki S. (posted on December 10, 2003)

Okay here is my 2 cents as I considered juice plus after my surgery as they sound like a very good product and I believe that they are a good product for people who didnt bypass part of their intestines... so you have to consider that we dont absorb vitamins and minerals the same way anymore. When we have our surgery the first part of our intestine is bypassed and this is where we used to absorb most of our vitamins and minerals... so it doesnt matter if we take juice plus or flintstones, they arent made to be absorbed by bariatric patients. So... I take Vista vitamins... each component is chosen to maximize absorption for our post op anatomy. I did a lot of research on this subject and have been taking vista for 3 months now. I am a 29 month post op. I have a great deal of information on vista medical on my website www.bariatriceating.com if you click on Vitamins and Supplements or you can read about them on the vista medical site. I represent the company by choice after deciding that they are an excellent product for us and I have featured them in a book that I have written on bariatric health and eating. Read the facts and see if they make sense to you too. ciao Susan Maria
