Question for sick friend in bed.....

She is one month out Rny w/ a bug wondering if she an have orange juice? Any suggestions?

HEY there! well I was wondering the same thing and i went to the store and found Tropicana Light and Healthy which has 10 grams of sugar per 8 oz glass. I figure if you don't drink eight  oz at a time just drink 4 then you are only getting 5 grams of sugar. I could be wrong and I may end up dumping. I just figured it was worth a shot. Hope that helps, Cheris

Have her call her surgeon . We all know that he or she is the one that gives us our do's and donots . If she is vomiting , he really needs to know about it .  Have her call him asap .  Tink

Why would she have to wonder about that??  I so worry that pre-ops do not get enough education before surgery. Orange juice is so high in sugar I doubt it can make her feel better. She could perhaps have the low sugar one and add water  to make it even more weak.  But she would do far better taking more Vit C ................. Jackie
