Can RNY's eat oranges
I don’t remember if us RNYers can eat oranges, I am not crazy about them but my wife just got some and I am wanting to try one but I am not sure if I should. Any advise would be greatly appreciated.

Not a problem I'm aware of.
Try a little if it's your first time....

Short answer: I eat oranges.
Long answer: My doctor says don't eat oranges. He says the little nodules can get stuck in the pouch and the acid has been known to cause ulcers in some patients. I think a reasonable compromise is to make sure you flush the pouch with a glass of water 30 min to an hour after to hopefully push any stragglers down the road. I also avoided them for the first few months to give everything time to heal and swelling to go down.
