@jakedduck1 I have a friend with kidney stones. He was advised to cut back on potatoes of all kinds, increase citrus and cut potassium rich foods. He switched to lemonade and cut back on coffee. I know you are getting a lot of suggestions for smoothies and juices, but I suggest you go for the whole foods instead. You can take in many more calories than you intend to when you start drinking your meals, and they may not "stay" with you as long. As for making it easier to eat oranges, you could peel a bowlful and keep them in the fridge or maybe try mandarins (canned, although you are looking at more sugar again). My husband loves the halos because they are small and quite easy to peel.

When I was getting kidney stones I gave up two of my favorite foods, sweet potatoes and spinach. Problem is they are both high in oxalates. I take a potassium citrate prescription and am suppose to eat an orange daily. I can only drink milk (2 cups a day) and water. No smoothies, coffee, sodas, tea, no juices of any kind. Mainly because of sugar. I agree that whole foods are better, more fiber, and filling. I donate Platelets every two weeks and calcium disrupts the absorption of iron.
