I am almost three weeks post op and was wondering if I can drink a little cup of orange juice? Anyone have advice on this?

I'm 8 1/2 months out, OJ still makes me really sick, but I can tolerate eating an orange or a couple of the Cutie tangerines.

I would wait and ask your nutritionist first. It may be to acidic for you right now.
Also if you get an ok remember to SIP IT SLOWLY! and Stop when you are full!
If you drink a whole glass you wil probably get rid of it very soon afterwards. Dumping!
I am speaking from experience I had my surgery 27 years ago in 1986.
I have not been able to drink anything with my meals since then. I usually drink my fluids before I eat.
That is a reality of choosing to have Gastric Bypass Surgery.
Always Stop when you are full If you don't you will Dump! Good luck to you!

I was not permitted to drink fruit juices during my weight loss period. Also, during the first weeks after surgery, my surgeon wanted me to heal in a non-acidic environment, so any citric acid would have been a no-no for me.

If you are craving something fruity, Nectar Protein powder creates a fruity drink with a nice fruity flavor.

Take care. :)
