When can you drink something like OJ? I am one month out and craving it!!!

You can generally drink anything like that now; however, you may want to check with your NUT if they want you having something so acidic at a month out. If they ok it, I recommend cutting it with some Water. It is loaded down with sugars (natural or not) and can be pretty hard on the stomach.

Good Luck!

I was told i could have the low acid low pulp one after Clear Liquids but diluted. Instead though, I am squeezing some orange into my Water now to give it a nice taste.

I don't drink orange juice because is acidity and it's loaded with empty calories. I do eat a few slices of oranges and they are really good to. Satisfies that desire for OJ. It does irritate the stomach too.. ;)

You may also want to try True Orange crystals for orange flavor. It's made by the same people who make True Lemon, which is super tasty for lemonade. It's basically crystallized orange and a really nice add in with none of the sugar or calories.

some is OK, I would limit it to a few ounces though... sugar content and all.

I am 6 weeks out. Was craving oj badly, took a sip and I felt Nauseous I couldn't eat for the rest of the day. I love oj by the way. I guess it's another sacrifice. 36lbs down and happy about that though

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
