    I do! I'm 4 months out and sometimes when I feel bloated I'll eat lemon. Just do it in moderation because that much acid will upset your new stomach! Or at least I found out it pisses off mine

    I would think the pulp and peel would be bad too early out. I was told to not eat skins of fruits or anything fibrous for 3 months post-op.

But what about the peel? And a little salt?

I tried drinking Water with a whisper of lemon in it, but it gives me acid. I love homemade lemonade, even though I use artificial sweetener, but I can't have more than a sip without getting acid. Bummer.

Try some lemon juice in your water and take it from there. Also make sure you are getting enough vitamin C. You're craving could be caused by vitamin deficiency. You might also want to try "true lemon" in your water. You can get it on amazon. Unlike artificial crystal light it's real crystallized lemon with a touch of stevia for sweetness. Good luck!

I eat lemons almost daily

But I have never tried the peel! Lol

No issues but I take a PPI daily also

There is nothing wrong with the fact that you like to eat lemon, the main thing in this matter is to know the measure, because citric acid in large quantities can harm your body. However, I would recommend replacing lemon with herbs and tinctures, they do not contain acids and they are harmless to the body, but on the contrary are useful. For example, I have been eating healthy herbs for three months, after which my health has improved. I decided to compare lemon and herbs and herbs on in my comparison, as I found out later in the blog http://jordibhealthandfitness.com herbs can promote good digestion and improve blood circulation in the body. I think herbs are just a universal thing. However, the most important thing is to use and process them correctly. Think about using herbs for food and just eat them when you want to eat something.
