Hello. I’m 2 weeks post op. Just wondering if we’re allowed to have orange juice? I can make fresh squeezed, but we have some bottled quality OJ in the fridge in which I’m craving. Will the acid hurt my stomach? Any advice?

In the classes I had to take before surgery . Juices are out for good.

I think they say that because of the sugar and calorie content? Even before surgery I would drink low sugar low calorie drinks only.. but I think at 1 oz -2oz of a drink contains such a small amount of sugar that it won’t affect me, however it’s a bad habit long term. I just wasn’t sure if it would hurt my stomach, and sure enough even fresh squeezed apple juice watered down , 1-2oz definitely hurt my stomach... lesson learned.

Oranges showed up on my acceptable food groups at month 4. So a small glass of natural, no sugar added orange juice might be O.K. then. Orange juice has a lot of natural sugar, so I would recommend holding off until then.

I think it might have given me “ dumping” ...

I was told to always and forever avoid juices.

I tried some at around that time and it made me feel so crappy. I don't remember the exact feeling but it was enough to remember to never drink it again. I don't even buy juice when I'm at the store. The most I'll drink is Apple juice if I absolutely have to but most of the time when I'm not home I usually have other options on what to drink. I used to love orange juice. Now it's just not on the list of any beverages I'd personally recommend....

Yeah I’m learning.. I told my family yesterday that juices give me dumping. Not worth the one or two ounces. I used to buy Trop 50. I only had the idea because my surgeons assistant told me I can make smoothies... I have no idea why or how she thought that was a good idea?! I can barely tolerate my premier protein shakes. Other than that, all I drink ate Powerade Zero. It has electrolytes and stuff, no sugar. Anything else hurts my stomach so bad. On the bright side, I’m down over 23lbs since 9/25/17.. so it makes it all seem okay. Hoping I continue on the fast track and keep losing weight. I also can’t wait for soft foods soon. Liquids get old real fast.

In our class they said no juices or smoothies. It would cause dumping because it removes the fiber and just leaves the sugar.

Yeah my doctors assistant messed up. No idea why she’d say it. I’ve had dumping a few times and it’s not worth it. Now I’m on soft foods though. So I’m working on that whole thing now..
