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.

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

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've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
