I'm 9 days post op and was just wondering if anyone knew why when we drink fruit juice it has to be diluted? On my menu plan the NUT gave me for after surgery, it says we can drink fruit juice, but it has to be diluted. Was just wondering why? Thanks!

Im not sure if this is the full answer but one of the vets here said juice is very acidic. Acid on acid can intencify tummy issues. Also juice is very high in calories and carbs.

I was given diluted juice as an option because some people (me included) have a hard time with plain Water after surgery.

Sugar content. Fluid passes through your stomach into the small intestine quicker now, and juice has a lot of sugar. So you're risking dumping syndrome if a bunch of sugar hits your small intestine quickly. In general, I'd stay away from juices now, unless they are "diet" (like a diet cranberry I've had before) with very low sugar content. It's pointless carb calories and something to move away from with your diet moving forward, anyway. I am now getting my fruit servings in Dole peach fruit cups and squeeze puree packets from Trader Joe's. That works well. But juice I'd avoid.

No fruit juice allowed at all on my plan during weight loss phase. Water, crystal light, ice tea is about all I get to drink.

Thank you all. I was just curious as to why only diluted..when i'm allowed to have vegetable juice, not diluted. I'm sure it has something to do with the sugar content as well :)

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.
