Anybody try eating a lemon?



Recommended Posts

I loved eating lemons peel and all.

Is this still ok to do. And aftet how long. I'm only 4 weeks out so I won't attempt now, but thinking in near future.

I do! I'm 4 months out and sometimes when I feel bloated I'll eat lemon. Just do it in moderation because that much acid will upset your new stomach! :) Or at least I found out it pisses off mine ;-)

But what about the peel? And a little salt?

at 4 weeks I was cleared to eat whatever sits well with my tummy. Protein first, veg, fruits. I have had part of an orange without any problems at all. There's not much room left when I get to the fruit part

I would think the pulp and peel would be bad too early out. I was told to not eat skins of fruits or anything fibrous for 3 months post-op.

I tried drinking Water with a whisper of lemon in it, but it gives me acid. I love homemade lemonade, even though I use artificial sweetener, but I can't have more than a sip without getting acid. Bummer.

Try some lemon juice in your Water and take it from there. Also make sure you are getting enough Vitamin C. You're craving could be caused by Vitamin deficiency. You might also want to try "true lemon" in your water. You can get it on Amazon. Unlike artificial crystal light it's real crystallized lemon with a touch of stevia for sweetness. Good luck!

There is nothing wrong with the fact that you like to eat lemon, the main thing in this matter is to know the measure, because citric acid in large quantities can harm your body. However, I would recommend replacing lemon with herbs and tinctures, they do not contain acids and they are harmless to the body, but on the contrary are useful. For example, I have been eating healthy herbs for three months, after which my health has improved. I decided to compare lemon and herbs and herbs on in my comparison, as I found out later in the blog http://jordibhealthandfitness.com herbs can promote good digestion and improve blood circulation in the body. I think herbs are just a universal thing. However, the most important thing is to use and process them correctly. Think about using herbs for food and just eat them when you want to eat something.

      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.
