[chel82]

hi guys,

just wondering if there is a reason why it advises not to drink fresh orabge after banding. it says apple is ok but not orange. i love fresh orange and iv had a glass today with no problems. can it damage anything or is it just some people cant tolerate it

thanks chel x

I think orange juice is a little acidic and also commercial juices are full of calories that are hidden.

I have a juicer and I do my own and water it down fractionally. You can make a few days batches in advance...yummy...

My recipe is this, one apple, one pear, melon and lychee.

Juice, and then put in jug in fridge....yummy.

While your stomach is still swollen from surgery, acidic juice can irritate it. If you have had it and had no problems then you are good to go. Just don't overdo it and watch the sugar content, it can be full of calories.
