Occasionally (like twice a month) I'll have a small glass of OJ. Small as in shot glass size. I drink it slowly to savor it. No problems unless I drink it too fast. One day I needed a drink and the only thing available was one of the kids juice boxes, way too sweet! Took my sip and passed it to a kids.

I quit drinking all juices when I made the decision to lose weight.
The closest thing to juice that I'll occasionally have is Chic-Fil-A's Diet Lemonade.

I am 5 weeks out and have a glass of OJ every day. I know that it's empty calories, but i can't drink Water all day....OJ goes down better then water somehow

I can't tolerate lemonade post-sleeve. But I can drink orange juice.< /p>

I do not drink juice at all, except an occasional 4 oz of low sodium V8...IMO it's wasted calories.

Try the Syntrax Nectar fuzzy navel. I also like GNC lean shake 25 in orange cream. Both of those are great substitutes for orange juice for me.

I don't drink orange juice.
I eat tomatoes and drink V8 all the time.
How far out are you?

I wouldn't recommend fruit juices at all. The sugar in fruit juice is comparable to drinking regular soda. Fruits should be limited. I know that many nutritionists allow fruits and juice but in reality I personally would not ingest such. If you ingest too many carbs (and carbs are just chains of sugars) then you sabotage your weight loss.
As far as eating tomatoes and such goes, I love the cherry and grape tomatoes. I don't find them to be acidic at all.

Had my sleeve on 11/19 and today is 11/29. Since i left the hospital i havent had anything down and just been vomiting. I am so dehydrated that im at the er because i just couldnt take it anymore. I feel like im slowly dying. I regret making this decision. This has not been a good experience for me. I feel depressed because no one understands me. They all tell sip little by little which i do and i still vomit. I shouldve been happy with my fat!!!! Happy and fat!!! However best wishes to those that it has gone well. Wish mine was like that too.

Don't take "no" for an answer. What you are experiencing is not normal.

Hopefully the ER will start an IV to hydrate you. The stricture mentioned above is an unintended narrowing within your smaller stomach. I hope you get some answers today.

Make sure when they do the egd they don't do it blind that can be dangerous

I had my sleeve surgery in July and two days after I was released DH took me to the ER due to a combination of dehydration and a Migraine going on 4 days. At the ER they completed an x Ray and CT scan, both were normal. They also hooked me up to an IV to get fluids in me as I couldn't keep anything down. After a few hours I was released. The first week was hard. Things didn't stay down and I wasn't getting my fluids in. Eventually that changed. I still find myself vomiting a couple times a week if I eat too fast or too many carbs, but my Water intake is much better than those early days. Don't regret the surgery just give it time to heal.

I am almost 8 weeks out and been having the same problem i now have a feeding the just to get nourishment it's not fun but I pray you get better soon

@aleja908.. sucks that you're having difficulties. Hopefully they'll find some resolution for you today so you can continue on to the path of greatness.
best wishes.

Call your surgeon and just see if you had a mishap. It can be fixed, you will get better, and all this misery will become smaller and smaller in your memory.
I feel you on the being so miserable with you regret everything (I had pretty bad complications). Hang in there, friend. It WILL get better.

So sorry you are having such a hard time. What does your surgeon say? Have you had a scope or upper GI study? Sounds like a stricture or twist. What you are experiencing is NOT normal and your doctor needs to find out why you are vomitting...this is not an acceptable postop reaction. If he won't help, find another doctor that will. Doesn't even have to be a bariatric surgeon. your PCP can send you to a gastroenterologist.

I tried a big thick wedge pillow I had bought for my mom when she was having trouble breathing. This was a lifesaver! !

This may not work for everyone, but I had a body pillow left over from my pregnancy and it helped immensely post surgery as well. I've even named him. We sleep together every night. My husband may be getting jealous.

This is an issue for me as well. I am 2 weeks out and still struggling with sleep due to not being able to sleep on my side like is usually would. I am exhausted! I tried sleeping with a pillow on my side but now help. I wake up around 3:00am and can't fall back to sleep. Very exhausted so I understand what you are going through.
Sorry I couldn't be more helpful! Hopefully someone else out there has some tips that we could both use

Congrats! So far sounds like a good recovery!

Hi there. Tomorrow is a week and I am happy to tell you I am doing good. My taste buds are back to normal ( I too thought the Jello was WAY TOO SWEET then... but now it tastes normal again). I have incision pain still but it feels better every day. I got my hunger back but my sleeve is already telling me when to stop.
I still have diarrhea so today I added some benefiber. I am hoping it helps. Please hang in there. I was in bad shape. I started feeling alive again yesterday and today I actually went grocery shopping. Tomorrow I'm heading back to work. You'll be good soon

Hi fatty, how are you feeling??

Its all in what you tolerate. You can try byt cutting pill in half if it is scored.
