Orange Juice

Any post ops drink orange juice at 1 month out? I have craved it for about 2 weeks. Havent had any yet.

I dunno....but if I were to try it when someday I become a post-op, I'd probably try low-acid, pulp free just in case! Smoochers, Arlies

Some dump on it due to high sugar content. They have to purchase some low carb kind. You might just try a little bit if you dump on sugars.

Christine, Proceed with caution. I was warned to NOT have citrus the first few months, to wait till I'm at least 2 - 3 month out before trying it. Just like tomatoes, because of the acid. However.... I started 'Maters at 6 weeks and I drink that Hood Carbcountdown OJ every morning, it's not as good as regular stuff..... but don't have all the sugar and my stomach can take it, I don't have issues with any foods so far, my pouchy aint grouchy at all. (in a way I wi**** was!! ) Try a little at first and see how it works, regarding the sugar in real OJ and/or the acidity Andrea

Hey CC Minute Maid has some OJ that has half the sugar and carbs as regular OJ. Although i'm a little more than a month postop, i do have a small glass of it every day. Hasn't been a problem for me. Might wanna check with your doc though, cause you never know. Later Jimmy

Thanks yall... I stopped and got some diet sweet tea at a pick a pack this morning. Havent opened it yet, but gonna try it. Oh--I was some OJ soooo bad! I go to Dr. 2morrow afternoon.

Hey Christine, Carb Countdown has juices that are really really good at only like 5 carbs a serving. I especially like the Orange Pineapple kind. Hope you're doing well! Keri

Hey Keri....I am doing well...I wish you would post on the MS board more often. We could use more POST OP advice here. Very seldom do I travel to the Main Message Board so I dont get read your posts. How are you doing? I have lost 26 pounds. Wondering how that relates to you at 1 month out. I know you have probably lost a ton by now. I have to get some of that Carb Countdown. I really want some cold OJ. I am burnt out on Crystal Lite and water. Ugh... Scott bought us Pizza today so I just ate the topping of a piece. It was so good. Stay in touch!

26 lbs in less than a month?!?! Yes, I would say you are on the right track!! Congratulations! That's wonderful? Any regrets yet? None for me. I'm down 70lbs so far in about 3.5 months. I'm happy about that. I try not to weigh alot, about every 2 weeks or so. Yes, get you some of that juice. I really like it but I'm trying to really, really cut back on my carbs. Even though it only has 5 carbs per serving, that's 5 carbs I can do without. Especially since I'm having a hard time with my fluids. Yes, there, I said it. I'M HAVING TROUBLE GETTING ALL MY WATER IN Water hurts for some reason so I'm drinking sugar free kool-aid that I love. And it takes me forever to even get in 32 ozs. Well, I'm working on it at least. So are you feeling ok? What's up with these supervisors today? Scott bought you pizza, mine bought McAlisters. I have more than 3/4 sitting at my desk that I'm trying to give away-HA! Tell Scott to bring me a Chicken Salad Sub from Lenny's, j/k. We have a Lenny's here, but it's not as good as the one in H'burg.

Today is 1 month exactly. Girl, we might be twins. I LOVE LENNYS CHICKEN SALAD SUB! Next time your down this way, call me up--me, you and Jimmy can go split a half! I dont get in all my water either. I drink Crystal Lite and its good. I buy the raspberry Ice and freeze it in my water bottle. Speaking of McCalisters - I ordered chili cheese nachos yesterday. I ate on it for lunch, supper, and had it for breakfast. There is still half in my fridge. 70 POUNDS!! Thats great! Thats really great. If I could lose 70 pounds in 3 months i would be so happy. I am 79 pounds away from goal of 160 (thats my goal) -- Doctors goal is 175. If we gonna do this we are GONNA DO IT! I think once I get a good sip of orange juice I will be satisfied. I bought some hoeny bunches of oat cereal and had some when I got home. I dumped BIG TIME. It was the worst dump I have had. Talk to you later!
