juicing causing weight gain??
Is this possible? I just started about 2 weeks ago making one for breakfast and feel so bloated. I use spinach/kale mix, celery, some cucumber, a small apple and some raspberries, sometimes ill throw in half a banana and always some almonds...my pants are so tight!

It is possibly weight gain but more likely bloating from changing your diet. Keep track of what you are adding to your juice and calculate the calories.

This. Also, what does the rest of your diet look like?

Sounds like you're not eating enough. Are you working out too?

Many of those things cause gas and bloating for me. On a regular basis! 
I'd play with the spinach, kale, banana and almond amounts until you find something that doesn't affect you like that. Banana and almonds would be my recommendation to play with first.
Kale is an amazing superfood. If you can put it in every time, you're doing great. I eat a baby spinach & kale salad at least twice a week to give myself a boost.

It sounds like you need to up your food intake ESPECIALLY your protein intake. Lean cuisine is full of sodium which can lead to bloating.

Re: juicing causing weight gain??
Any new diet can cause weight gain/bloating at first but I'd see what happens in the next few days. The lean C's are terrible for you(sorry to be harsh)! Think about it like this.
You are eating fresh, whole foods in a juice then you give your body something that is frozen with preservatives a few hours later-most likely filled with other ingredients. Your body could be confused.
Make sure you drink a ton of water and I would try and eat a snack in between your meals (nuts, berries, etc).
Hope this helps!

Thank you all so much! I am stoppoing the lean cuisines, I never realized how much sodium is in there! gross!! I am def going to add Kale, I make Kale chips as a snack...should I get protein powder? What other forms of protein can you juice besides bananas and almonds? Ive been using the nutribullet, it really works amazing on a side note :)
