H2Orange

[737captain 54]

I was on the "Naturally Slim" diet several months ago and it was successful until I fell off the wagon.

One of their staples was H2Orange, basically 1 part pure orange juice and 7 parts Water. The idea is that immediately on waking in the morning drink a glass it breaks your fast (breakfast), gives your metabolism a kick start, it gives you a small sugar input to get you going and is filling. That way you put off your first meal for an hour or two. It also tastes pretty good and encourages you to drink water throughout the day.

Comments anyone? NUTs feel free to jump in.

My NUT advised against juice past the Clear liquids phase post-op. And even in that phase, it was supposed to only be 50/50 juice/water. Obviously, there is a big argument against drinking your calories long term. I wouldn't think that one ounce of OJ would have many calories though.

The only other hesitation I'd have is that OJ specifically is high in acid, so it might not be good for immediately post-op while your stomach is still healing. I would think you might want to wait about 30 days or so. That's how long I was told to wait before having coffee, also because of the acid.
