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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

      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.
