It should be good until you reach the clear liquid stage.  Some V-8 is high in sodium so, you might want to check on that.

v8 is fairly nutritious and has great potassium which is hard to get in after surgery. my doc recommended drinking it post op and pre-op.

every plan is different but on my liquid pre-op diet i was allowed soup, juice, broth, pudding, jello, milk, protein shakes, etc.

oh good.  protein shakes,  broth, sugar free jello, water and crytal lite .... not much of flavor.  but i do like v8.  so i'll add that to my list.
thanks for your input!!!

After surgery my head hunger was so bad. I wanted taco bell so bad. Low sodium v8 saved me from going crazy. It made me feel like I was drinking something normal. I think I drank it in like week two.

V8 is definitely one of the drinks I can get down with no problems.  That and Skim milk.  Enjoy!!
