Juicing Forum

Hello Andy,

Congratulations!! Way to go and it has been so positive and so inspirational. Thanks for sharing your experience.

Thanks again Andy. Yes, you have done so good that it will be a shame to let it go at this point. I did read on here about how to resume eating after the fast so I am wondering what are you doing between fasts? Ok, I am doing ok but hoping to keep on being strong and avoid temptations now and after the fast.

hello again,

i am not letting it go. i just have to make sure i will be able to keep this great mental health feeling when i eat fruits and vegetables. i think i am on my 67th. day now and the hardest part was the first week. the rest was a breeze. the meals were easy to make and i save a bundle on toilet paper! lol.

take care and keep in touch,andy

Congratulations andy, Ihave followed your journey quite abit on here and it has been very inspiring. Im so happy your still going, I am shooting for 60 days as well-on day 6 now:)

keep us updated along the way, I have been updating everything that is going on from day to day in my journey in a thread I have going in the group juice fasts. My wife is doing this along with me for the forst two weeks..as it seems she may go a bit longer now that shes made it through day 5 almost. shes one day behind me.
Once again congratulations andy! you should pots up some before and after pics i think if recall your down like almost 50lbs so far right>?
Talk soonest
Ray

hey raydiouguy,

thank you for all the comments and like i said, after the first week, it is second nature.
almost 50 is correct.
at least you have your wife joining you!
amen to that last statement.

the reason i have not put photos up is that i have an ebay business and i have had it for over 15 years and i also have a gun broker business and i don't even have a facebook page that has anything on it except andy weiser but andy4879 is my user name for most sites and i have people that don't like me because i am successful and i don't want them to know my identity because i have had death threats in the past from these punk idiots. i might take some without the head! i will give it a decision sooner or later. my transformation is not that big because i weighed 260 and did weight watchers and lost 70 pounds and gained 40 back and i only have one pic of me lying on a chair outside and it does not show the true me before i started this fast but we will see.

keep it going and keep me posted. this is a great place to meet real friendly and hones people.

take care,
andy

Good Ideas andy I will try that later! I can relate to what you said about not putting pics up and the haters out there!! Maybe when you come to florida we can meet up and chat. I am in hollywood.

Congatulations on day 71...i know at some point you will have to get back to foods and your mind will be ready as ever!!

keep updating
Ray

let me know if you get a good salsa recipe that i can steal from you!

today is day 77 and i could not do just juice anymore!

i just had a little salad with kale,spring mix,cucumbers,celery and cherry tomatoes with the calorie,fat,and salt free walden farms ranch dressing and it was AWESOME! i made it small and used little dressing even know i could put the whole bottle on but it was refreshing and to chew again was wonderful.

i am down over 52 pounds and i hope to eat a meal a day of fruits and vegetables and the other meals will be juice for a week or two and when i get to my goal weight, i will only juice once or twice a day but the vegetables tasted so good.

i don't want pizza,junk food,sweets, but just fruit and veges!

i hope i don't get sick but i will update. all of my family members were worried about me since i was doing this so long so i decided to go ahead. one salad a day is not going to hurt me. thanks for all of your help and support. you guys are great!

sincerely,
andy

thanks gary,

i will continue on here for sure. that little salad made me feel tired and my stomach was messed up all night so i am ready for some juice now!

thanks for the support and how are you doing?

sincerely,
andy

thank you ray but after that salad made me sleep badly, i am scare to eat again. i should have eaten it for lunch but too late. i was thinking of all of the cool things i could put in salads like flax seeds,pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds for the omega 3 fats. i may try it again today but i still feel crappy.

it is amazing how much your stomach has to work just to digest a small salad. can you pm me those dressing recipes again so i can print them out instead of going to that other page? that would be much appreciated and if i can do this, so can you! i have had to do this the whole time while making my wife's lunch and dinner and i won't even tell you what i fix her!

thanks for everything and i will keep updating and you do the same!

sincerely,
andy

hello everyone and i hope you are all well because i am trashed!

i just went and did my annual blood work and i told the nurse that every time i stand up, i get real dizzy,i have no energy,and they saw how thin i was and weighed me and they took my blood pressure and it was 85 over 58! that is very low. it was that way last night. my sugar was low last night.

to give you a little background on me so this makes sense, i have type 2 diabetes and i got it in 2004 or 2005. i had it gone in 3 months with exercise,diet,and pills. after three months, i was off of the pills and have never had a problem since.

when my new doctor who i started seeing in 2005 or 2006 saw my charts, she wanted me on lisinopril as a preventative for kidney problems even though i had no diabetes symptoms so i started it. this medicine is also for blood pressure! i have told her i don't need it for my kidneys but she kept me on it.

with me doing this fast,my health has gotten so much better that the medicine is causing me to have low blood pressure which is why i have no energy,am dizzy,and forgetful.

she told me to stop taking it(duh) unless my pressure reads 120 or above. with the new diet i am going to adapt, i don't think that will happen so i think i have been feeling bad because of that and no as much the juice fast. i did not see the doctor but the nurse spoke to her and then to me but she wanted to see me back today and i said that i was too scared to drive back into town 20 minutes.

i think she is very unhappy about the weight loss but i will see her on the 7th. and i will compare me old blood test to my new one. i know they want me eating though and i was going to the store to shop but i felt like crap and came home.

i am going to start doing smoothies this weekend and hopefully after not taking that medicine tonight, i will feel better tomorrow.

JUST TO LET EVERYONE KNOW, THIS IS WHY YOU NEED TO MAKE SURE YOUR DOCTOR KNOWS EVERYTHING ABOUT YOUR FAST,DIET,AND EVERYTHING YOU DO.

i never had high blood pressure at all and i never liked being on a medicine that i felt like i did not need so this is one think off my checklist for seeing her next week. i want to get off of my hereditary cholesterol medicine because after eating the way i have any continuing to eat healthy, i don't think i will need that either.

i wanted so badly to get home and email you guys because you are my support team and it really means the world that you guys are helping me get off this too long of a fast.

i love you all and keep in touch as i will too.
andy

thanks gary,

i wanted to see my doctor when i told her that joe cross had his blood work done every 10 days, she said my insurance would not cover that. but my step father said if it was critical, they would accept it. i called the pharmacy who i know them all and they said that that lisinopril is mainly for blood pressure and i don't have high blood pressure. i did find out why she has me on it for my DORMANT TYPE 2 DIABETES that i have had problems with for 7 years: diabetic nephropathy. i am nowhere close to having that! i am going to try to start seeing an internist as they have more experience.

i can't get in touch with donnie,

he gave me a video to a smoothie guy but he made a whole blender full. donnie told me to have one smoothie a day with my juicing to start getting the solids back in. how much should i drink? i don't want to gain weight. there is all kinds of fruit,a little yogurt for taste,and veges but i am not going to drink a whole blender full. gary please watch this video and advise me since donnie is not answering me. thank you and let me know your opinion. i know i have to start small and donnie said to have a juice before or after the smoothie. here it is:
