I have a 10cc band with only .6cc's in it and currently I am able to eat oranges I really like them and for what ever reason it seems that when I eat them I tend to have a nice weight drop the next day. I was wondering if after my next fill if I will be able to eat oranges or will this be something that will block my band any thoughts would be quite helpful

I think that's sort of individual. Like, I can't really eat eggs and some people have no trouble with them. I can eat oragnes some days if I take a really small piece and chew it really well. I think you'll have to experiment.

I too love oranges. I have eaten them, but found that the fibrous material that is left in your mouth after you chew is difficult to get down. So I just chew all the juice and pulp out, and spit out the pithy stuff. I have also noticed that I weight well the next day, but that's becasue it now acts as a laxative for me.....

Ditto for me, except for the laxative part lol.

I have 2.9 in my 10cm band and I am eating an orange right now!

I can't stand chewing on all that pithy stuff, it triggers my gag reflex. So does gristle and sometimes eggs. If I want an orange, it's nothing but the juice for me!

Let us know how you do. I love oranges and that was one fruit I do not want to give up. I have not had a fill yet but hope I can eat them once I do. What about Mandrin Oranges?

funny that i saw this today i had an orange at lunch and let's just say that will be the last orange i eat for a very long time it is very hard to clean teeth and run the bathroom at the same time!!!

i bought a big bag of oranges and s l o w l y ate the smallest one. YUM

EXCEPT...10 minutes later it became ver apparent oranges were going to be out of the pictre for a while, just wouln't go down. sigh... maybe i'll try to make a smoothie.

I am not a big fan of oranges but, I have noticed that plums tend to cause me discomfort no matter how much I chew it. Sad because I love a nice plum ohh well!

I've been allergic to oranges all my life. Strange cause I can eat any other citrus, just not oranges. I've heard they are supposed to be an issue, but aren't necessarily for everyone. Just depends on what works for you after I spose.

I tried to eat mandarin oranges out of a can yesterday. After 3 wedges I knew I was done and that I wouldn't be eating those again for a while--if ever. I also had the bright idea to try a donut. Bad idea. 2 bites into it and I was up walking around hoping it would go down. It did, but it made me realize that no donut is worth that! I will stick to my oatmeal.

I can eat oranges as long as I peel the outer membrane and chew the rest. If I eat too quickly or swallow too much whole.. I get a stuck incident.

I love grapefruit peeled and eaten like an orange too!!! YUM!

I am 4 weeks out and tried an orange yesterday. I cut it in half and then went around all the sections with a knife (like you do with a grapefruit). I ate only the orange sections without the pithe. It was good and I didn't have any problems with it. I don't know about next week when I get my first fill though. I will probably stay away.

I'm 2 months out.. and I can eat oranges as long as I don't eat the membrane around them... I also eat grapefruits peeled like oranges.

Apples.. give me some trouble... I never thought of eating oranges like a grapefruit. :)O mmmmm

Yes, big navel oranges work well like grapefruits.
