Question:
Has anyone drank Juicy Juice after surgery? Does it cause dumping?

Supposedly it is 100% juice with NO SUGAR added. What kinds of fruit juices are okay to drink... if not Juicy Juice.    — Eleanore Davis (posted on July 21, 2003)

This is the only kind of juice that I drink. The white grape juice. I have been drinking it since my surgery 1 week ago. My meal consists of 1 oz of juicy juice and 1 oz of jello. I don't drink it between meals because my doc doesn't recommend more that 8 oz of juice a day but I have had no problems with it. In fact, I think that it is delicious. Good luck.

I was told to dilute fruit juice with equal parts of water. So I took a 2 quart container and filled have juice half water. The 100% juice no sugar added is what I was told to use. I could have 1/2 cup diluted at a time.

I drank juicy juice and loved it...unfortunately, it didn't love me. I was never told I had to (should) dilute my juice so I drank it 'straight up' though. Now at 6 months out, I have found that I am VERY sensitive and have dumped on several things that most probably wouldn't dump on...like carrots and ranch dip. So, I would say try it and see how it goes, chances are it will be just fine for you.

I'm almost 10 months out from LAP RNY and still have major dumping from juice, and yes I add half juice half water. I think its just one of those things. Some people dump on carbs, I do not. Some people don't dump on fruit sugar, I do. Just depends. You might just have to try it out and see what works and doesn't work. Good luck to you.

Just be sure to dilute the juice. I go almost 1 part juice to three parts water, I find when I do this, I can get more water into my body. I freeze them in those ice pop trays and just suck on up to six a day.

I dump on fruit juice (not severely, but enough to get my attention). Also, be sure not to drink high-acid juices (like citus juice) in the first few months, as they can cause ulcers where all your new plumbing is trying to heal.

MMMMMM, Juicy Juice! I had open RNY on June 17th and I began drinkning Juicy Juice a few weeks ago. I was very surprised at the sugar content! I did not dump, but it felt heavy in my pouch, so I just began to dilute it with water(1/3 to every 8 ozs). Good Luck and take it slow!
