Yes or no? I've wanted some for a few days but too afraid to try it.

Really depends I what your doctor said. I know people who drink wit watered down right after surgery, while my surgeon doesn't allow any fruit or fruit juices u till almost goal weight.

Orange juice has a lot of sugar. Juices usually have added sugar, aside from just the fruit. I wouldn't have if but if its not against your nutrition plan it won't hurt unless you're newly post-op then the acid may wreak havoc on your stomach.

You could try the Syntrax Nectar Fuzzy Navel Whey Protein. It doesn't taste exactly like orange juice, but close enough. And for 1 scoop in 8oz of water you are getting 23g of protein.

Have a small glass you'll be fine. It will curb your craving,give you some vit. C then back to your plan. There is added sugar in juices of course but it won't sabotage your LIFELONG journey with your sleeve. We need to remember that this path we chose has changed us permantly and we need to now be more decisive in our choices from now on but not to deny us the good things God has provided for us to enjoy albiet in much smaller doses.

It has a lot of sugar and I guess I would be concerned about the acid.

It is ok pre-post op per my nut/surgeon. No pulp, though.

I'm 7 weeks post - op and bored with dairy based protein shakes. What have you heard about "no sugar added" fruit or vegetable juice in protein shakes?

What does your surgeons plan allow? I would follow it. I'm allowed fruit, I had 10 blueberries and 2 oz. of cantaloupe yesterday......but no acidic or high sugar fruit which is what orange juice is. If you can't resist just drink a very small amount and take small sips to see how it affects you.
