Hi!, I am a pre-op but, My Dr says not to eat oranges because of the
membranes. But, I have noticed that his meal plan is alot more restricted
than others. Take care, Mary

My Dr. says oranges are fine as long as we remove the membranes first. I
really don't know why, but have followed those orders and have had no
trouble.

My surgeon approves of any fruit except bananas. I eat oranges but I try
to limit it to one a day - they are full of natural sugar afterall and they
do have a lot of calories. But they are good for you - I don't even remove
the membrane, but then again, I am over a year post-op. I did remove it
early out.

I'm 5 months and eating oranges and grapefruit (with the membrane) with no
problem! Especially those little Valencia oranges that are out right now
-- yum!!

I refuse to believe that any fruit is bad. I eat a lot of fruit and I love
it! What kind of f'ed up diet/eating plan are we on if we're scared to eat
FRUIT?????!!!

I am so thankful that I now crave fruit for a 'sweet' instead of a twinkie
or other sugar laden food. Fruit is full of vitamins and nutrients that
our bodies just love. And I always take my iron and multi after eating an
orange every day, the vit. c encourages the absorption of the iron, and I
need that. The roughage in the orange also keeps me very regular, no more
constipation for me. And an orange, depending on the kind (Calif. navel,
Calif. velencia, blood, Florida), had approx. 65 calories with the
membrane, approx. 45 without the membrane. That is 1/2 - 1/3 the cals of
an 8 oz. glass of juice. And is much better than a twinkie or snickers
bar. I usually eat 1/2 of an orange after lunch, and the other half after
dinner. Sometimes I have 2 a day, but I don't let that bother me.

I eat oranges all the time. I am 4 months post-op. In the beginning all I
ever wanted to eat was pineapple and the odd thing was I never ate
pineapple before the surgery. I love all fruits and since the surgery
crave the fruits over sweets and salts all the time.
