Trop 50 is good! I tried just a little because I too was craving it. It was before my leak was discovered but I have had a sip of bloody mary since my leak healed and it was fine!

jasleeve, Easy Mama!! :) You just got through one hurdle! :) I kwym about OJ, though. I love it. Too bad you aren't in FL, I'd share some of my favorite with you. It's bottled by Indian River Growers, but it's not sold outside of this area because it's not pasteurized or processed, so no preservatives in the juice. My aunt's ex-BF works for them and sometimes brings me by a bottle of the extra pulpy stuff they can't sell. I LOVE it! :)

I need to call Wayne, now that I've posted this!

Syntrax nectar makes an orange cream Protein drink. I add coconut Water and fresh squeezed oj (frozen into ice cubes) from my local HEB. Tastes BETTER then an Orange Julius tastes these days (when I was a kid orange julius was soooooo much better then it is now!) Granted, I am not yet sleeved, but this might help with the craving...

Hey Jas,

Crystal light puts out a orange sunrise that is tasty... maybe not so much acid to start with?

Ja- I love a CL strawberry, banana, orange I think it is... It's VERY yummy. I've also done the tropicana 50 post op. Just a few sips at a time is enough to take care of the craving. The small individual size bottle lasted me almost a week!

I love my Hubby's foodie friends - got a response to this question.

juice from mandarin and valencia oranges are much less acidic *but* that still may not help, because it depends on how much less you need. The advice ends there unfortunately since they have no experience in stomach surgery!

That's how I juiced my oranges. I left all the pulp in. It's more like chewing than drinking. Thank goodness my navel oranges seem to be mostly seedless. I have an old fashioned hand reamer and I'm too lazy to fish for seeds.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
