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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

      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.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
