I am one week post op. I was told by my Doc to wait until 4 weeks out to have citrus but i was wondering if V8 juice is ok or is it also to acidic? Since V8 is vegetable juice not just tomato I thought it may ok and help me to get in a serving of vegetables. Tell me what you think. I certainly dont wanna irritate my sleeve! Thanks!

I hope so, I've been drinking it since 72hrs post op

Started drinking V8 3 days post op. I felt better after getting some veggies plus it is a liquid. I was taking a PPI so no heartburn with it. I had 8 oz daily for the first 2 weeks.

ditto. V8 is soooo good and good for you. Made me feel not so deprived when I couldn't eat veggies yet.

My dr said V8 is fine, but said to use the regular stuff & not V8 Fusion because of the fruits/carbs in it.

I'm about 2 weeks post sleeve and had my first V8 Low Sodium today. It's taken me almost 2 hours to drink 12 oz. I guess it's due to the consistency, but it's annoying. I hope this gets easier, because I love V8 and I drank it fairly regularly pre op, and plan on continuing.

I know this is an old thread, but I wanted to resurrect it because I just had my revision from sleeve to bypass 4 days ago and I'm drinking regular low sodium v8 (not the fusion) and it's been totally fine. Tastes great and it's a super good way to get in veggies when you're not allowed to have them yet. I noticed the consistency of it didn't bother me at all. Just wanted to put this out there, in case anyone else was wondering.
