My registered dietitian said to stay away from OJ because of the acid and the calories. She limits me to drinks with 15 calories or less per serving, not counting protein shakes.

You may have it as part of your plan though. Can you call your nutritionist tomorrow and ask?

I can call on Wed I doubt she's in the office tomorrow I'm really craving OJ!! Lol

just take a sip. :D I'm 11wk out and I don't drink any OJ except for freshly squeezed oranges. :D

our plan says any fruit juic cut with water so it would be 50/50 at this point (im 3 weeks po from a revision diet is the sae) I have 4 oz with 4 oz water in the am

Thank you all so much'! I will try just a sip first and if I can handle that I will do the 50/50 :) happy girl right here lol

OJ is NOT a good idea at this point!! Citrus is very hard on your new pouch. You need to let the poor thing heal!! On top of the harsh citrus thing, OJ usually has a lot of simple sugar...which will likely either stall your weightless or cause dumping.

Are you taking your multi-vitamins (twice a day)? If your craving keeps up, you may want to add some extra vitamin C.

Hang in there!! It's worth it, I promise!!

JJ

I wouldn't risk it. It has a lot of sugar in it and acid and empty calories. I haven't had any juice at all and I am 7 months out.

Dang :( I guess I won't lol

I'm pre-op so I have no experience to share, but maybe orange flavored Crystal Lite would satisfy your craving?

I am still craving OJ really bad. But at three weeks out when I tried a small sip it made me very sick and even today at almost 11 weeks out it still makes me sick.

I am 4 months post op and I can drink orange juice and tolerate it well but there are other people I know who can not tolerate orange juice due to the acid and the amount of sugar it contains. I have been lucky to not have experienced dumping syndrome with eating or drinking things that contain sugar. From what I have heard dumping syndrome is aweful!! If your going to try something with sugar do so at home because you may not feel well afterwards.

I think minute maid has low acid Oj don't hold me to the brand. It's sold at Walmart. Do that with the 50/50 you should be fine.

thanks for the minute maide tip tropicana has the lower sugar and well different mixes but i need something different

I was allowed to add diluted juices (apple or grape) at about 3 weeks. But the diluted juice tasted terrible to me so I just skipped it, it wasn't worth the calories. I basically drink water and decaf coffee or tea.

I'm 3mo out and I cant eat much but I live on babybel cheese and orange juice, only pure juice, no added sugar, no added anything, just fresh squeezed oranges.
