If you're squeezing oranges yourself that's certainly better than from concentrate but I'm thinking you should be hydrating with Water or something comparable (Powerade Zero is my favorite). Your surgeon has the final word - you should call for this one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NMJG 1,266 Posted December 8, 2013 fruit juice, fresh or not, is packed with carbs and sugars. It is likely going to impact your loss, I would stay away from it if it were me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MIJourney 490 Posted December 8, 2013 Are you diabetic? When my numbers were out of line pre-surgery I would have cravings for OJ and if I had it I wanted more. I've not had any for over 6 months now and no longer have cravings and am off all meds. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RJ'S/beginning 5,358 Posted December 8, 2013 I drink oj at night when I take my Iron pills..It helps absorb the Iron better.. Now I drink G2 Gatorade for hydration..1/2 Water 1/2 G2..works well....you can try that and maybe ease up on the juice.... Run it by your Doc and nut though to be sure...k Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
*susan* 1,709 Posted December 9, 2013 I am just reading this in shock that you can even drink orange juice. Even as far out as I am, I have major reflux and the acid in orange juice is the equivalent to torture for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Run it by your Doc and nut though to be sure...k I drink a little bit at night too. I take a liquid doxepin for fibromyalgia and I mix it into a little bit of orange juice. Then I take my iron pill with another swallow of orange juice. All together it's at the most a half a cup. I only drink it at night and I haven't had it impact my loss. 1 RJ'S/beginning reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Even as far out as I am, I have major reflux and the acid in orange juice is the equivalent to torture for me. As we all know everyone is different and can or cannot tolerate certain foods or liquid...I am a year out and still have issues with pork or beef....But no reflux so i have been able to drink a 1/4 c of orange juice with my pills every night...I chose low acid though maybe that is the difference.
