Question:
Any taking or has taken Juice Plus+ ???

I have taken a whole food based dietary capsule called Juice Plus+ for about 10 years and swear by it. They are great.(you can learn more at www.juiceplus.com) I'm wondering if anyone takes them now after bypass surgery as I have questions for you.    — Kathleen F. (posted on March 26, 2009)

I had RNY on 11-10-08 and I have been on juice+ since 4 weeks after surgery. I take the fruit/veggie and berry blends, and fiber. I feel wonderful. Has helped me with BM's and energy.

Kathleen, My short answer is yes, I started 4 mos. ago and I am 13 mos. post-op. About 6 mos. post-op my mouth started to burn and my taste buds on my toung are worn down. I started to get sores in my mouth so I went to my PCP. She gave me two different meds for thrush, took it for two weeks but no relief. So that wasn't the problem. Went to my surgeons office and spoke with one of their PA's and he blew me off and told me to go back to Primary. She sent me to an Ear, Nose, and Throat doctor. They tried a few different things with no relief, and then she said "we could test you for allergies but that is a long and drawn out process, it might be a vitamin deficiency, so what I would like you to try is Juice Plus+, if it works, that's great, if not we will test for allergies." Well 4 months later, The metalic taste in my mouth is gone and my mouth is no longer raw. My husband also started complaining about His mouth hurting and he started taking them also, and now His mouth is a lot better. I told my surgeon about it and she thought it was a good idea. At my one year check up all my blood work came back good. Paula B

I also use Juice Plus and was wondering what vitamins you all take. I take 2 in the AM and 2 in the PM some one else told me to take all four together, but having a small tummy I would think it works better to break it up in two doses. I had my RNY June 2008 and I am 15lbs below goal weight and give the credit to Juice Plus for my energy level. Thanks Kiersten
