Juicing and medication?
I am an american. I am planning on going on a veggie juice diet for 2 weeks the I will be having surgery for cancer a week after the diet. How closly should I be monitored during the diet for changes in my medications. I'm taking meds for thyroid blood pressure and blood thinners. I am also a type 2 diabetic but not on medications. Would it be better to wait till after the surgery to start the diet?

Ask your doctor. Please to God ask your doctor.
I would hazard a guess that yes, it would be much, much, much better not to make a drastic change to your diet right before sugary unless that drastic change was recommended AND supervised by a doctor.
Eating healthy is one thing – crash dieting (and yes, almost all veggie juice ‘diets’ are actually veggie juice fasting, and qualify as ‘crashing’) – is almost never a good, supportive thing to do to your body, especially when facing complications like the ones you’ve described. If your doctor has not recommended you fast before surgery, you shouldn’t.
Please, please, please talk to a doctor about your weight loss goals and take their advice on how to best achieve them while dealing with your other medical needs.
