Concerned About Orange Juice And Dumping Now

I have been drinking orange juice since I was about 2 weeks post op. I am now a little over 4 weeks post op, and still enjoy about 4 oz a day of OJ in the morning. It seems to get me going...and since I was never a big breakfast eater before or even now....it helps to give me a little appetite to at least eat something before 3 in the afternoon. So, I went to the doctor and mentioned to the nurse that I had been having orange juice and he looked at me like I was crazy! He told me it was loaded with sugar and would cause me to dump. Well...it has been going great for two weeks...and I haven't had ANY dumping that I know of. I didn't even realize there was sugar in it! So, I went home and read the back of the carton, and low and behold it has 28 grams of sugar!!!! Should I stop drinking it now? It hasn't affected my weight loss that I know of. I have lost over 36 pounds in just four weeks. I am not sure what to do. Does this mean that I am not a dumper? I haven't tried anything else that has sugar in it that I know of. Any advice would be helpful!
