Citrus After Gastric Sleeve Surgery ?



Recommended Posts

I was at costco yesterday (wasn't everyone?) and the oranges and tangelos looked so tempting. I am almost 2 weeks out from surgery. Finishing up full liquids this weekend, and was just wondering when others started being able to eat citrus fruits?

I have read some plans that started them at 2 weeks, some 4 and some not until around 4 months. My doctors guidelines don't reference citrus fruits at all.

For me it causes more acid n acid reflux.

I can't do citrus yet. It makes Rex go "Heck, No!" For a sleeve, he's pretty picky, IMO! ;)

I was supposed to bring fruit in from about 6 weeks. However almost 9 weeks out now I find that citrus fruits or acidic fruits make my tummy very funny. I have been sticking to fruit cups for peaches and pureed fruits.

Everyone has different reactions to it.

My surgeon says 6-8 weeks cause they are too acidic on your healing stomach.

I've been hesitant to try them too because I've had some reflux difficulties, but I agree that they are looking YUMMY!
