I am hesitant due to the carbs but also the acidity...george (my sleeve) hates acidity.

I eat and drink just about anything, but am hestitant about orange juice. Not because of acid, but because the juice is so high in sugar. I had to juice all the oranges on my trees and turn them into ice cubes. I plan to drop the cubes in carbonated Water during the summer (or hopefully hot spring).

If you want to try a tiny bit, use real oranges, squeeze it yourself and dilute by half. Bottled OJ is full of chemicals and stored in huge tanks.

I got a juicer for xmas.I should juice more, I haven't juiced much. Well, to drink. My skin is krazy soft, however, lol.

In my defense, I had no idea you couldnt juice a banana. (sorry hubby :unsure: )

My tummy loved it, acid and all. I got the Tropicana 50 - it's lower sugar and "lighter" tasting. Maybe if you just dilute regular OJ it would be good? I know...I crave it sometimes. Maybe it's the Vitamin C we're wanting?

My NUT told us that citrus is an irritant to our stomaches. But I do squeeze some lemon in my Water and love it. I would dilute OJ down to cut the carbs and acidic. ;):wacko:

I have always squeezed fresh lemon into my Water and have been wondering if my sleeve would tolerate it now. Do you have a problem with plain water at all? I can't drink it at all and I hate all of the sweet drinks like mio and CL. Maybe lemons will be the answer to my prayers!

Bedhead: Yes, I do have a problem with Water, my sleeve doesn't like it. So buy deceiving it by adding some lemon, gatorade G2, or mio, I can get more in. When my body is hydrated, it's very, very, very, happy :). Hope this helps. ;)

Congrats on getting your stent out!! I know you have to be so happy!! AND congrats on your 55 lb loss! That's phenomenal!!!!! I haven't tried OJ yet,I'm only almost a month out. But for some reason I have to put hot sauce on everything I eat,and I soak all the meats I cook in lemon juice to make them tender. I have an obsession since my sleeve with sour and spicy! My sleeve loves it!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
