Juicing (and not with drugs)

Today I had to call out sick from work. I was doubled over in pain and wasn't sure if I was going to vomit or shit (it's a blog.. And I'm all about honesty here). Needless to say it was not a fun filled day.

The only thing I could seem to eat was ramen noodles ( not the most healthy food choice since it has no nutritionally value). It was a pretty wretched way to spend a beautiful day... Let alone a sick day (even though I am not the type to call out when I'm not sick. On a beautiful day I would like to do that just once... But I would feel guilty).

I was doing some research on line to find out if after gastric bypass I could do a juice fast. I was surprised to see that it was actually encouraged. I had it drilled into my head that I needed protein protein protein and veggies were just an after thought if I had room. I found some juice combos that are specifically for stomach issues.

I had my loving hubby pick up some produce for me to try it. I almost instantly felt better.

So the decision has been made, that I'm going to attempt a 10 day juice fast to help my stomach feel better. I pretty sure that I have an ulcer and I'm starting to wonder if I may suffer from ibs. Hopefully this will help me get my tummy under control and maybe lose the last 20/25 pounds at the same time. I have a feeling that my current weight gain may be related to my stomach pains.

Wish me luck.
