Anybody try eating a lemon?



Recommended Posts

I loved eating lemons peel and all.

Is this still ok to do. And aftet how long. I'm only 4 weeks out so I won't attempt now, but thinking in near future.

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 ;-)

But what about the peel? And a little salt?

at 4 weeks I was cleared to eat whatever sits well with my tummy. Protein first, veg, fruits. I have had part of an orange without any problems at all. There's not much room left when I get to the fruit part

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.

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!

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.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
