What about juice?

Has anyone tried orange juice yet?  I'm really wanting some, but heard the acid might hurt the pouch.  I'm drinking tomato juice and V8 without a problem.

I've tried it and have no problems with the acid.

I haven't had any but I was craving lemons and salt around 2-3wks post op.  I squeezed the lemon juice, added salt and water.  It went down well for me.  I haven't craved lemons since then either.  I say give it a try and see how your pouch does.

I tried orange juce a couple of weeks ago and it burned just a little, but I can drink it now without any problems. I have about 8 oz a day. I love the stuff!

No orange juice.I've been drinking  v8 vfusion the vegetable and fruit drinks they are really good.

I would suggest following your doctor's and/or nutrionist's advice.  My doctor's rule is that after 6 weeks out, absolutely NO calories come from liquids, only food.  So... juice is out.  Totally.  I imagine I could have it once in a while, but he says .. and I quote.. lol .. "All of your calories must come from food."  Otherwise you are basically adding empty calories because the pouch is now so small things are not "properly" (for lack of a better word) digested.  :-)

Good luck on your quest!

Sort of related - I had salmon last night and squeezed a whole lemon onto it to moisten it. No problems. My RNY was 12/9/08. Down about 30 lbs

I have had orange juice...as early as four weeks out...and I didn't have a problem with it.  It was good.

I had orange juice @ about 3 weeks out and I have it diluted 50/50 w/ water....I dilute any juice I drink and I make sure it is 100%.

Juice works great with me so far. I am only about 2 weeks out but they gave me deluted apple juice the second day at the hospital. I drink a glass of OJ everyday! It sits fine. Try Simply Pure...its NOT from concentrate....the apple and oj are GREAT!!
