Fresh juice suggestion please

[bubblegirl96 5]

Hello everyone i would like to ask what fresh juices are Good in Post Op liquid diet ?

I'm 5 days out of surgery and currently only been drinking quater cup fresh orange juice , chicken broth and hardly drinking enough Water , but someone said me orange juice is very citric and suggested i should try apple juice but when i tried apple juice i felt vomiting ..

Any suggestions on good fresh juice

OJ is pretty acidic which might not be good on your healing stomach.

My bariatric center actually preferred we not do juices because of the high sugar content as well but said if we did do them, to dilute them in half with Water. And they suggested apple juice or diet cranberry juice. Just make sure you are buying a juice that doesn't have added sugar to it and even then still dilute it down with some water.

No juice is good juice IMO -- way too many calories, carbs, and too much sugar. Like mainlining a huge hit of sugar right into your system, without even much Fiber (it gets destroyed and removed in the juicing process) to counterbalance it.

I agree to that thanks for your suggestion I will try apple juice diluted with water

Thanks for the reply

If that is the case then what else shall i have instead of fresh juice ?

@@bubblegirl96 juice is not recommended on our post-op plan either. We are allowed any no calorie, non carbonated liquid (PowerAde Zero, Vitamin Water Zero, Crystal light, Infused Water (can do whatever flavor you want), Decaf tea (unflavored/flavored / hot or iced), sugar free popsicles.)

Are you drinking Protein shakes? I was told I could blend a 1/2 frozen banana or a few seedless-types of fruits in my shakes.

I could have sugar free Powerade or Gatorade but no fruit juice at any stage..... My NUT thinks fruit juice is sugar laden empty calories and I was told to avoid it forever. Her #1 rule was do not drink your calories except for Protein Drinks when on pre post surgical liquid diet. Thats my plan but ALL plans are very different. I am not saying that's what everyone should do but it works for me ; )

I don't do juice, but I do make a smoothie with apple or pineapple, kale and spinach, with some ice and Water. I was allowed applesauce so I think something like that would be a better choice if you have a blender than can handle making smoothies.

I was drinking the Vitamin Water zero, but then my b Vitamin levels were too high, so now I only get them as an occasional treat, but they are good. real tasty.

Why don't you have a look if V8 or other brand has any good vegetable juices?

I invested in an juicer (Wilfa) that leaves pulp, so I also get the fibers. They can also be used in baking afterwards, if you want to use everything ☺

It also makes great veggie juices, even from carrots, so I make mixes. But if you do only fruits juices, have them very moderately, because of the higher calories, as many pointed out.

Check your food plan or ask your nut if you are not sure what you are allowed.

I also want to mention that I'm pre-op, so I have more food options at this time, even though I am on a diet.

No juice!!! I drank diet Snapple or anything diet if you absolutely need something sweet. My doc said it would stop my weight loss.

Instead of juice try Syntrax Nectar fuzzy navel or GNC Lean 25 orange cream. They satisfy the taste for juice for me and have lots of Protein.< /p>

Is that all? How are you getting your Protein? You would have to be drinking an awful lot of chicken broth.
