Ok, so after not having orange juice since before my surgery last June, I was thrilled to see that they have lower sugar OJ the other day in the store!   I have recently tried Minute Maid lower sugar oj and just bought Trop 50 last night and let me say- I am in LOVE!   I loved the crystal light orange sunrise for the first year post op, but now it just has a weird flavor to it (probably from the asparatame) and doesn't taste like OJ anymore to me.   This stuff has 10 gms of sugar per 8 oz glass and tastes so GOOD!  I can tolerate at least 18 gms (pushing it with 20 gms) of sugar, so I usually just drink one serving of this stuff at a time.  But it's sooooooo goood!   And it's real juice, no artificial sweetners.

Just wanted to share the yumminess if any of you are craving juice and/or something sweet (but not too sweet).   Me likey.

I completely agree!  I drank gallons of orange juice when I was pregnant with my youngest - before my wls.  I started craving it again a couple of week ago and asked my hubby to look for some lower sugar oj when he went to the store, really not believing that they would have anything.  He brought home the Trop 50, and it's been on our regular shopping list since.  I'm having a lot of trouble getting in all of my fluids because nothing that I usually drink tastes good now, so being able to have a glass of oj in the morning and evening is really helping with that, too.

oh! I am so glad to hear this, I just got a great deal on it (.49 cents for a half gallon) and so I bought a whole bunch but was not sure I would like it.

yeah I wish I had found this stuff like a year ago, it's so good!  I love being able to have real juice and especially orange juice again.   I thought I'd never be able to have OJ again after my RNY, due to the high sugar content- but now I can!  Yay!   I love having a cup of it each morning, mmm.
