No juice here.

Might as well drink sugared Water.

I was told no juice as it contains too much sugar. However, I was at a friends house for brunch yesterday and she offered me about 4 ounces of Trop 50, blended with Syntrax vanilla Torte and it was delish!

It had Protein and less sugar/calories/carbs than plain ol' OJ. And it kicked that "I want Breakfast with a cup of O.J." craving I was having since before surgery.

Regular orange juice made me reallllly sick! Worst case of dumping. I accidentally drank it during week 1 post surgery. I wouldn't advise it. I have had trop50 with no problems but still in small amounts and diluted with ice cubes.

I was told no juice due to its high calorie and sugar content. My NUT did say if I'm really really craving it, to dilute it. 1oz of juice to 8oz of Water. However be careful with citrus, it might not sit right.

Just for your info, generally diabetic patients will drink OJ to recover when they go hypoglycemic because it has lots of sugar and the sugar in juice gets absorbed into the bloodstream so fast. For that reason alone, I would stay away from it. I am sure apple juice and grape juice (and probably any fruit juice) would be the same.

Just guessing here, but if you were to drink it, I would really dilute it (like 1 part OJ to 4 or 5 parts water). Probably not worth it diluted that much though.

Some of the other solutions recommended above sound like great ideas.

trop50 is ok according to my nutritionist... use the 10gms and under rule... (even tho they say 15 and under.. i play it safe with 10 and under) and maybe add a little Water or ice cubes

I was just told no juice as well. Empty calories and too much sugar. However, I got a sample of the orange creamcicle Protein Drink they have. I'm going to drink it tomorrow for Breakfast. :)

I have drank oj occasionally but I Water it down some, probably not enough. I drink just a couple of ounces at a time.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
