Citrus?? I am 6 weeks out

I am six weeeks post op. And I bought a Grapefruit the last time I went to
the grocery store. Now i'm not sure if I can have it, or oranges. Someone
please advise.

Hi Mike -

I wasn't allowed citrus until the 3-month mark.  I was cleared for everything at 6 weeks except citrus and steak.  Call your nut and ask if you're allowed it do it yet.

I am about 2.5 months post op.  I had an orange last night and am not feeling very well today.  Defiantly talk to your nutritionist before eating citrus.  I didn't double check my "ok" food list before I ate it.  I just figured I have been able to eat everything with no problems so an orange wouldn't be any different. . . . boy was I wrong!  I feel like I am having a bad case of acid reflux . . . hopefully this won't last too much longer.
