Hello everyone. I am 3 weeks post op and was thinking if i would be able to add some lemon slices in my water. Has any one done it or asked ur dr?

I'm 4 weeks post op and have been making lemonade (with Splenda instead of sugar) and have not had any issues with it.

I'm 6 weeks out and drink tea with lemon juice added, as well as water with lemons. I can't imagine it would be that bad for you since most doctors say add crystal light, etc.

I eat fish with lemon and add lemon slices to my Water. No issues.

You need to make sure you deseed it though. One lemon seed and you'd be sorry, I imagine. That's my fear. I use my slicer and inspect each one before it goes on or in anything.

I'm 27 days out.

Thanks, everyone for ur response

My nurse recommended lemon in hot water for nausea in the mornings.

I notice many of you on this thread recently had surgery. I had surgery April 1st. I am struggling and just wanted to know what foods are you all eating at this stage. Maybe I could get some ideas. I hate all the protein powders I have tried. Please list as many as you can.. Thanks

Mine was April first. I eat salmon, tilapia, mashed potatoes, cream soups, refrained beans, puréed chicken salad, Greek yogurt, sugar free apple sauce, SF pudding, baby bell cheese that I chew very good, low fat ricotta.

My surgeon also recommended warm lemon juice and water in the morning for nausea

O i didn't like to try tilapia or salmon. I sure will. I have eat everything else same as Neal

I find with chicken and fish I try to chew it so carefully and then I don't feel like swallowing.. I worried that I am not getting enough protein because I don't like most protein powders. They actually make me want to vomit..

I'm taking acid meds right now that they give you after surgery... I wonder how the lemon would affect the stomach. Doesn't lemon have a lot of acid in it?

I'm having a problem also with the Protein shakes. They make me want to throw up now after surgery. I don't now what else to do

Speak with a nutrionist because there are many options.. I haven't yet cuz my appt is may 8. Right now I don't drink any protein shakes.. I have some milk and try to get protein in other ways.. Nonetheless I am struggling
