BrittNicole 12 Posted July 27, 2013 Yes or no? I've wanted some for a few days but too afraid to try it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JessicaAnn 564 Posted July 27, 2013 Really depends I what your doctor said. I know people who drink wit watered down right after surgery, while my surgeon doesn't allow any fruit or fruit juices u till almost goal weight. 1 BrittNicole reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BKLYNgal87 503 Posted July 27, 2013 Orange juice has a lot of sugar. Juices usually have added sugar, aside from just the fruit. I wouldn't have if but if its not against your nutrition plan it won't hurt unless you're newly post-op then the acid may wreak havoc on your stomach. 2 BrittNicole and MIJourney reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SueJH 205 Posted July 27, 2013 You could try the Syntrax Nectar Fuzzy Navel whey Protein. It doesn't taste exactly like orange juice, but close enough. And for 1 scoop in 8oz of Water you are getting 23g of protein. 1 BrittNicole reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gitter Dunn 39 Posted July 27, 2013 Have a small glass you'll be fine. It will curb your craving,give you some vit. C then back to your plan. There is added sugar in juices of course but it won't sabotage your LIFELONG journey with your sleeve. We need to remember that this path we chose has changed us permantly and we need to now be more decisive in our choices from now on but not to deny us the good things God has provided for us to enjoy albiet in much smaller doses. 2 BrittNicole and nsquared reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alyjourneys 117 Posted July 27, 2013 It has a lot of sugar and I guess I would be concerned about the acid. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
karpouzian 94 Posted July 27, 2013 It is ok pre-post op per my nut/surgeon. No pulp, though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ms.lisa 2 Posted July 28, 2013 I'm 7 weeks post - op and bored with dairy based Protein Shakes. What have you heard about "no sugar added" fruit or vegetable juice in Protein shakes? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
suzieq14 4 Posted July 28, 2013 What does your surgeons plan allow? I would follow it. I'm allowed fruit, I had 10 blueberries and 2 oz. of cantaloupe yesterday......but no acidic or high sugar fruit which is what orange juice is. If you can't resist just drink a very small amount and take small sips to see how it affects you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
