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.

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.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
