4 days out of surgery can I drink OJ

Depends on what your plan says...mine said Clear liquids or Protein shakes for 2 weeks. OJ has calories plus is acidic so don't think I would.

What does your plan say? For me, that would be a big no. OJ has too many calories, and too much sugar for the weight loss phase -- especially in the very beginning. (And I can't imagine what the acid would be like on the new stomach...)

Why don't you try some sort of non-calorie, non-Water beverage? Powerade Zero worked great for me during the first week or two post-op.

Huge no for me unless I got hypoglycemic and needed a fast boost bc it's full if sugar, calories and acidic

I would say definitely not. It's not clear, not low calorie, and super acidic. You'd probably have horrible heartburn and feel like death after. Not to mention the sugar.

I was sleeved on the 4th, I started soft foods yesterday. I was on full liquid not clear liquids for week one. I could have have juice on my plan. The rule is it should be sugar free and no pulp. I don't know if they make orange juice like that but I think its fine if fits those rules.

Oh yeh, my plan does allow diet, sugar free juice...yuk!! Lol

My plan did not permit at your stage. As others have stated too much sugar, acid, and calories. Check with your nutritionist to see what they say for your plan.

Trop 50 with no pulp was ok for me but I didn't like the taste really!
