Orange Juice a NO NO for me



Recommended Posts

I think I overdid it big time today. I am 4 days post op and I drank a glass of fresh squeezed OJ. I was already feeling kinda bad when I was making it...The feeling I used to get when I hadnt eaten in way too long. So, I took a few big drinks (with no water) and then it was down hill from there.

I pressed on and went to a friends to play cards and had to abrubtly leave because I felt/feel so nausious.

I came home and took a nasea pill and now am sitting here just "waiting it out" :(

Do you think it was from the sugar in the OJ? Or that I just overdid it today? It had been quite a while since I had "eaten" anything and it took a lot of work/standing to make the juice in the first place.

Thanks for that. I believe it was all due to the OJ now. My hubby said that I wasn't supposed to drink it, that the dieticion said that. But, I didnt remember at all. Then, when I looked online I seen you are not supposed to drink it post op.

I was able to "sleep it off" so that was good. I will mention it on monday at my follow up.

Was there a lot of pulp in the juice? That could have "clogged" you up... or maybe it was because you drank it too fast and your body wasn't used to it yet.

Glad you are feeling better now.

I think there may have been a lot of pulp. I strained it really well, but when i looked at it today, it was settled to the bottom and it looked like a lot :)

Whatever the reason, I am not going there again.

Thanks for your help!

I was told no OJ post op due to the acid in it. I hate apple juice and the other options so I didn't drink juice.

Hmm, no one told me anything about OJ and I've drank a lot of fresh squeezed since I got my band (Feb 08)

Never had a problem but then I drink everything slowly as even Water will give me a problem if I drink too fast

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
